«Anfitrión o el nacimiento de Hércules» is the play by Titus Maccius Plautus, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (88 pages, in Spanish).
Zeus takes on the appearance of Amphitryon, Alcmena's husband, and confusion erupts when the real husband appears. Plautus turns the myth of Hercules' birth into a comedy of errors with confused servants, identity games, and a chain of misunderstandings.
The 1994 edition includes the version by Jesús Ricardo Martín Fernández, Beatriz Martín González, and Raúl Doval Salgado.
It is suitable for readers of classical theatre, comedy of errors, and Greco-Roman mythology.
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.
