The Magnificent Lovers (Les Amants magnifiques)
The subject of this play was given by Louis XIV. It was acted before him at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, on February 4, 1670, but was never represented in Paris, and was only printed after Molire's death. It is one of the weakest plays of Molire, upon whom unfortunately now rested the whole responsibility of the court entertainments. His attack upon astrology is the most interesting part. The King, who will have nothing but what is magnificent in all he undertakes, wished to give his court an entertainment which should comprise all that the stage can furnish. To facilitate the execution of so vast an idea, and to link together so many different things, his Majesty chose for the subject two rival princes, who, in the lovely vale of Tempe, where the Pythian Games were to be celebrated, vie with each other in fting a young princess and her mother with all imaginable gallantries. Iphicrates & Timocles, princes in love with Eriphyle. Sostratus, a general, also in love with Eriphyle. Anaxarchus, an astrologer. Cleon, his son. Chorbus, in the suit of Aristione. Clitidas, a court jester, one of the attendants of Eriphyle. Aristione, a princess, mother to Eriphyle. Eriphyle, a princess, daughter to Aristione. Cleonice, confidante to Eriphyle. A sham Venus, acting in concert with Anaxarchus. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
