Amphitryon
1995
Amphitryon is a comedic play by Molière, first published in 1995, that explores the chaos resulting from divine interference in human affairs. The plot centers on Amphitryon's return from war, only to find his wife, Alcmene, has been seduced by Jupiter, who has taken his form. This leads to a series of comedic misunderstandings involving mistaken identities and questions of loyalty and infidelity. Molière's work cleverly blends humor with serious themes, making it a notable exploration of love and human folly.
