Richard Wilbur’s Molière translations are all pure pleasure to read, and Amphitryon is no exception. It is set in Ancient Greece (although the characters all have Roman names) and provides a comic/farcical version of the Greek myth about Zeus/Jupiter’s disguised seduction of the wife of a Greek general. The irregular rhyme and meter delightfully complements the text, lend a light wittiness to a what is by now a reasonably stock story.
