Now
Jupiter returns to enjoy a second session with Alcmena. He calms her anger and sends her into the house. Before going in to join her he orders his son Mercury to keep Amphitryon away. Mercury seizes the opportunity to have more fun, this time teasing Amphitryon by throwing water and a tile at him
461:
Sosia notices that
Alcumena is pregnant. Alcumena is surprised that Amphitruo has come back so quickly. Amphitruo thinks she must be mad to claim that he has visited her already. Alcumena produces the gold cup as proof. Amphitruo accuses her of adultery, and she protests. He says he is going back to

A nurse comes out and reports that
Alcmena has miraculously given birth to twin boys. One is the son of Amphitryon, the other is Hercules, the son of Jupiter. To quell Amphitryon's anger, Jupiter now returns and explains to Amphitryon what he did. Amphitryon is then honored to have shared his wife
210:
The following morning, Amphitryon sets off for the house, annoyed by his slave's foolish-sounding story. Jupiter departs only moments before
Amphitryon arrives, and when Alcmena sees her real husband, she is confused as to why he has returned so quickly. Amphitryon doesn't appreciate this strange

Mercury's job is to buy his father
Jupiter some time by deceiving those who would interfere. He changes his appearance to look like the slave Sosia, and when the real Sosia arrives, he beats him up and sends him away from the house. Thoroughly confused by having been beat up by himself, Sosia

At this point there is a gap of about 300 lines in the text. A few fragments quoted by the grammarian Nonius in iambic senarii indicate that these lines included another quarrel between
Amphitruo and Alcumena. At some stage Sosia returns with the ship-captain Blepharo and Amphitruo quarrels with

An unusual metrical feature of the play is the large number of lines of iambic octonarii, more than any other
Plautus play. The octonarii occur especially in the two messenger speeches, one describing Amphitruo's battle, and the other describing the birth of Hercules, each of which has a similar

Plautus's plays are traditionally divided into five acts; these are referred to here for convenience, since many editions make use of them. However, it is not thought that they go back to
Plautus's time, since no manuscript contains them before the 15th century. Also, the acts themselves do not

Alcumena is giving birth. Amphitruo, declaring that he has been subject to witchcraft, says he is going to burst into his house and kill everyone inside; not even Jupiter will stop

Mercury introduces himself. He asks for good behaviour from the audience, and explains that Jupiter is visiting Alcumena disguised as her husband Amphitruo. Mercury says he has disguised himself as Amphitruo's slave Sosia and is keeping watch outside the

pattern of (a) iambic octonarii (type a), (b) other metres, (c) iambic octonarii (type b). Another passage of iambic octonarii is Mercury's gleeful speech in act 3 (lines 984–1005), anticipating the fun he is going to have teasing Amphitruo.

Jupiter and Alcumena come out from the house. Jupiter tells her that he must return now to the army, and gives her a gold cup which he says he won in the recent battle. Mercury, playing the part of Sosia, makes mischievous

The maid Bromia comes out. She relates how Alcumena has given birth to the sound of thunder and a voice from heaven. She finds Amphitruo lying on the ground, stunned by lightning. She informs him that Alcumena has had

The play is thought to be relatively late in Plautus's works, probably from the period 190–185 BC. One indication of this is the large amount of sung verse. Another is the description of Alcumena in line 703 as a

Jupiter, still disguised as Amphitruo, addresses the audience. Alcumena comes out, indignant at being falsely accused. Jupiter soothes her anger, telling her that he had only been joking.

Sosia is surprised that the night is lasting so long. As he approaches the house he notices Mercury. There is an altercation, and Mercury punches Sosia and sends him away.

When the others have gone, Jupiter calls on the absent Mercury to prevent Amphitruo from coming to the house so that he can spend more time with Alcumena. He goes inside.
