Translation by Sir Robert Allison. The legendary birth of the demigod Hercules treated as riotous, bawdy farce. Zeus plots divine philandery with the wife of a great mortal general while the put-upon Mercury takes out his frustrations on the hapless servant Sosia. Rollicking comedy with a surprisingly modern flavor from the strait-laced Romans!
