Amphitryo (Latin and English Edition)

Incredibly helpful. I found Plautus' Latin a little difficult to tackle at first, so this book was very helpful during my second term in college. What makes the text so helpful is the fact that it gives you exactly what you need to know in order to translate accurately and deal with the archaisms in the language. Also, the commentary is written in very simple Latin, making it fun and clear to understand and (by some accounts) helping to increase fluency. My class also utilized the cambridge yellow and green book, which I found much less helpful than I expected since it focused on more pedantic things (weird exceptions in the meter, etc.) rather than on the peculiarities in language that might slow the reader down.
