Amphitruo - Mercator

Rate this book
Testo originale a fronte.

Amphitruo, la commedia del doppio in cui gli scambi di persona fanno da motore ad una irresistibile comicità, una delle più note e amate tra le opere del grande uomo di teatro latino (259/51-184 a.C), e Mercator, scritta da Plauto in giovane età, un'opera nella quale la vis comica si affianca alla tenerezza, il riso alla fantasia.

Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 – 184 BC), commonly known as Plautus, was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest works in Latin literature to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by the innovator of Latin literature, Livius Andronicus. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his.

Nonostante Amphitruo si basi su dei trope che non mi fanno impazzire posso dire che mi è piaciuto, mi sono anche resa conto di aver sorriso durante la lettura. Mercator invece mi ha annoiata parecchio e il padre che se la vuole spassare con la giovincella mi ha fatto pure ribrezzo.

Classic plauto plays, I really enjoyed the mercator once as it was super fun. Amphitruo one was super interesting on the topic of duplication. Always something to learn from ancient rome.
