A married gentleman named Menaechmus arranged to have a feast at the home of his dazzling mistress Erotium. While preparations are in progress, he strolls off to the forum. Suddenly, his long-lost twin brother--also named Menaechmus--arrives. After a crescendo of comic confusions, identities are finally unscrambled, and the brothers are reunited. The play inspired Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, which in turn inspired Rodgers and Hart's Boys from Syracus.
