![]() sosia(sosias): double, doppelgänger It's my "other me" in the forums ![]() sosia: In ancient Greek there was the name SOSIAS (sigma-omega-sigma-iota with the acute accent-alpha-sigma) which is for example a slave's name in The Wasps” by Aristophanes. It is however after a long time that this name took the meaning of “the living double of another“. This happened after the Roman playwrigth Plautus (c. 254-184 B.C.) used the name Sosias in his comedy “Amphitruo” where there is a servant of Amphitryon just named Sosias. In this comedy it is the god Mercury who assumes the double of Sosia to help Zeus that, disguised as Amphitryon, came to Alcmene, Amphitryon ‘s wife, and seduced her, while Amphitryon was away from home. To conclude, the word ‘sosia’ was originally a name that later had the meaning of ‘double’, thanks to Plautus. |
