Contributor(s):Author: PlautusTranslator: Henry Thomas RileyConsidered to be Plautuss greatest play, Menaechmi; Or, The Twin-Brothers is the story of two twin brothers, Menaechmus and Sosicles, who are separated at age seven when their father takes Menaechmus on a business trip. This classic play, which provided the inspiration for Shakespeares Comedy of Errors, draws heavily on the theme of mistaken identity.
