This is the original bedroom farce -- a classic switcheroo plot in which a character pretends to be another man in order to sleep with the other man’s wife. In this case, the Lothario in question is actually the god Jupiter. Of course, this plot was old even in Plautus’s time, but the comedy still moves at a brisk pace and is generally funny. It’s unfortunate that the climax is lost (the very point at which the husband and wife realize they have been duped), but my edition translated 3.5 stars.
