The amphitryon himself did not eat European dishes, so he contented himself with drinking a glass of wine with his guests from time to time, promising to dine with those who were not seated at the first table.
It is again only the poet himself who sets himself as a youthful ideal god in place of the aging father, as Jupiter descended from his throne renewed in beauty and youth according to his divine power, to visit Alcmene in the form of her spouse Amphitryon. "Heinrich von Kleist. Eine pathographisch-psychologische Studie," 1910, J.
Then marvelled the king himself, and his son, the warlike Phyleus, and the herdsmen that were set over the horned kine, when they beheld the exceeding strength of the son of Amphitryon. Now these twain, even Phyleus and mighty Heracles, left the fat fields there, and were making for the city.
I spent an anxious and impatient night, and called on my Amphitryon at an early hour to have an opportunity of speaking to his dear companion. I found her alone, and began with an ardent caress which she gently repelled, but her face froze my passion in its course.

Round the fountain is a grove of the Cretan Storax-trees, which the people of Haliartus point to as a proof of Rhadamanthus having lived there. They also show his tomb, which they call Alea.

See what you have done.
Taillefer, our amphitryon, has undertaken to surpass the circumscribed saturnalias of the petty modern Lucullus. He is rich enough to infuse pomp into trifles, and style and charm into dissipation... Are you listening, Raphael?" asked the orator, interrupting himself.
Bevan, who, sixty years before, when he occupied a house in Stratton Street, had flourished as an Amphitryon and a dandy under the patronage of the Prince Regent.
The Egotistic Amphitryon (concluding an harangue). Well, all I've got to say is I've been here half-an-hour (with a bitter sense of the anomaly of the situation) waiting about for You!! (They seat themselves at one of the little tables under the verandah.) Oh, you're going to sit that side, are you? It's all the same to me, except that there's a confounded draught here which well, you're young, and these things don't affect you or oughtn't to. (They exchange sides.) We shall have to hurry our dinner now, if we mean to hear anything of the music. That was the reason I expressly told you seven sharp. Here, Waiter! (Waiter presents a carte, and stands by with a proud humility.) Now, what are you going to have? (To Guest.) You don't mind?
