This comedy is the retelling of the myth, Jupiter descends from Olympus to woo the faithful wife of Amphitryon, the fair Alkmena. The question of fidelity is central to the play, as Jupiter, king of the Roman gods, disguises himself as Amphitryon, in order to have a chance to romance the unwitting Alkmena.
