Amphitryon is a play written by the French playwright, Moliere, also known as Jean Baptiste Poquelin. The play is a comedy that tells the story of Amphitryon, a Theban general, who returns home from war to find that his wife, Alcmene, has been unfaithful with the god Jupiter, who has taken on Amphitryon's appearance. The play explores the themes of love, jealousy, and mistaken identity, and features a cast of memorable characters, including the servant Sosia, who is also mistaken for his master by Jupiter. Through witty dialogue and clever plot twists, Moliere creates a hilarious and entertaining play that has been enjoyed by audiences for centuries. Amphitryon is a classic of French literature and a testament to Moliere's enduring popularity as a playwright.SOS. What the deuce of a fellow is this? My heart thrills with clutching fear. But why should I tremble thus? Perhaps the rogue is as much afraid as I am, and talks in this way to hide his fear from me under a feigned audacity. Yes, yes, I will not allow him to think me a goose. If I am not bold, I will try to appear so. Let me seek courage by reason; he is alone, even as I am.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
