«Menaechmi Gemelos» is the comedy by Titus Maccius Plautus, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The play tells the story of two twins, Menaechmus and Sosicles, separated as children when their father takes one on a business trip; later, the other arrives in the same city and their physical resemblance triggers a chain of mistaken identities. This comedy of errors inspired Shakespeare's «La comedia de las equivocaciones».
Second edition, with a version by J. Ricardo Martín Fernández, Beatriz Martín González and Raúl Doval Salgado. Published in March 2002.
A work commonly read in schools and universities by those studying classical theatre and Latin literature.
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.
