«Amphitryon 38» is the three-act comedy by Jean Giraudoux, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (158 pages, in French).
Giraudoux revisits the myth of Alcmene and Amphitryon: Jupiter, to conquer her, takes on the appearance of Amphitryon, her husband, while Mercury passes himself off as the servant Sosias. Alcmene resists the god and prefers human life: conjugal love, friendship and sensuality. It is the 38th version of the myth and follows in the footsteps of Plautus and Molière.
Subtitled 'Comédie en trois actes', it is number 2207 in the Le Livre de Poche collection, within the Le Théâtre de Poche series.
Aimed at lovers of classical theatre and reinterpretations of Greco-Roman mythology.
Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux was a French novelist, essayist, diplomat and playwright. He is considered among the most important French dramatists of the period between World War I and World War II.
