«Anfitrión» is Plautus's comedy published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (95 pages, in Spanish).
The play recreates the myth in a comic vein: Jupiter takes on the appearance of Amphitryon and, from that identity substitution, misunderstandings and absurd situations follow in succession until the denouement.
The edition includes introduction, translation and notes by Antonio López Fonseca; the original title is Amphitruo. First edition, first printing.
A gateway to classical Latin theater, thanks to an annotated translation that facilitates understanding of the play.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
