Excerpt from The New English Theatre, Vol. 9: Amphitryon; Double Dealer; Double Gallant; Inconstant; Constant Couple
There is another inaccuracy of the fame kind, which occurs both in plautus and Moments. It appears in the fecond aét, that one part of Sofia's errand was to give Alcmena a particular account of the battle; and Sofia's account of his being prevented, is (0 extravagant and abfurd that Amphitryon cannot believe it: yet when Alcmena, in the third aéi, afks Amphitryon how (he came to know what he had fent Sofia to tell her, Amphitryon in afionifhment feems to admit that {he could know thefe particulars only from [jim/21, and does not confider her quellion as a proo that Sofia had indeed delivered his me¿'age, though for fome reafons he had pretended the contrary, and forged an incredible flory to account for his negleét. As it would have been much more natural for Amphitryon, to have (up pofed that Sofia had told him a lie, than that Alcmena had, by a miracle, learnt what only he and Sofia could tell her, without feeing either of them; this inaccuracy is removed, by introducing fuch a fuppofition, and making the dialogue cor refpond with it.
