Amphitryon 38
Adapted by S.N. Behrman. Author(s):
Jean Giraudoux
follows the outlines of the legend of Amphitryon, Alkmena, and Jupiter, in which Jupiter descends to Earth, impersonates the General Amphitryon--Alkmena's husband--and makes love to her. Difficulties arise when the father of the gods is met with stubborn resistance. For Alkmena is faithful to her husband, and even the greatest god can win her only after much ungod-like embarrassment and, in desperation, the unsportsmanlike device of impersonating Amphitryon himself.
