Titus Maccius Plautus

About this book

A Latin play about identical twins and mistaken identities, Plautus' The Menaechmi is thought to be the primary inspiration for Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, a dramatic comedy in which identical twins named Dromio both serve masters named Antipholus. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night may have also been influenced by Plautus' work, as it also features mistaken twins.
