La ravissante Alcmène, reine de Thèbes, épouse d'Amphitryon, est l'objet du désir de Jupiter qui souhaite l'enfanter d'Hercule. Jupiter aime en Alcmène l'amour humain que celle-ci porte à son époux et son infaillible fidélité le trouble. Avec Mercure il fomente une diversion pour tromper Alcmène en envoyant Amphitryon à la guerre et en prenant sa forme humaine, sachant qu'il s'agit du seul stratagème possible pour parvenir à ses fins. Mercure, incarné sous la forme de Sosie, annonce à la reine que son mari, reviendra secrètement le soir même du champ de bataille pour passer la nuit auprès d'elle. Alcmène le croit et l'attend dans la pénombre au balcon. Jupiter, sous la forme d'Amphitryon, passe une divine nuit avec Alcmène qui ne se doute de rien...
