| | Amphitryon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alcmene, who had been betrothed to Amphitryon by her father, refused to marry him until he had avenged the death of her brothers, all of whom except one had fallen in battle against the Taphians. | | | Having accidentally killed his uncle Electryon, king of Mycenae, Amphitryon was driven out by another uncle, Sthenelus. | | | He fled with Alcmene, Electryon's daughter, to Thebes, where he was cleansed from the guilt of blood by Creon, his maternal uncle, king of Thebes. |

| | Amphitryon, confused, decided then to consult the seer Tiresias, who revealed that Zeus had lain with her before him. | | | And that is why Alcmena did not seem to welcome Amphitryon when he returned and lay with her the same night that Zeus left, for she thought that she had already been with him. | | | However, when they came to Thebes, Alcmena refused to marry Amphitryon until he avenged her brothers, who had died in the battle against the sons of King Pterelaus of Taphos. |

| | Furthermore, though Zeus was disguised as Amphitryon while he seduced Alcmene, the real Amphitryon cannot lay claim as progenitor to the great Hercules, who often berates him for offending the gods. | | | Though they both went to Thebes, Amphitryon, whose name in Greek means "harassing on both sides", was unable to consummate his love for Alcmene until he had avenged the death of Alcmene's brothers. | | | Not only is he harassed by unrequitable love and duty, he is also harassed by Zeus, who sends him on an errand and then uses his wife to bear Hercules. |

| | After Amphitryon's death, Alcmena married Rhadamanthys, son of Zeus and Europa, either in this life, dwelling with him in Ocaleae in Boeotia, as some say, or else married him after her own death in the Isles of the Blest, as others say. | | | So Amphitryon, wishing to marry Alcmena, asked Creon 2 and the Thebans for military aid, and after fulfilling certain conditions that Creon 2 demanded, Amphitryon formed a coalition, being supported by Cephalus 1 of Athens, by Perseus 1's son Heleus of Argos, and by Creon 2 himself. | | | However, when the engaged couple came to Thebes, Alcmena refused to marry Amphitryon until he avenged her brothers, who had perished in the battle against the sons of King Pterelaus of Taphos. |

| | This is primarily because it's based on the ancient Greek/Roman myth of the king of the gods, Jupiter/Jove, seducing Alcmena, the loyal wife of Theban general Amphitryon. | | | While "The Bungler" was clearly formative Moliere, his mature "Amphitryon" is quite unlike the handful of high-comedy satires that have come to represent him today. | | | But more mature thesps are needed; the youthful cast is too often callow or campy when it should be high style. |
