Illyria in World Literature: Plautus, Shakespeare, and More

By Mr Shpetim Tim Lezi

I don't know if people are curious like me, but when I read somewhere that there is not much information about Illyria, I decided to do some research. I found out that there was a comedy by Plautus, entitled, 'The Menechmi', the setting of which is in Epidamnum of Illyria. Then I found out that even Shakespeare's 'Twelve Night' was partly based on 'The Menechmi' and its setting is in Illyria as well. Both these comedies are the best written by both playwrights. Add to them 'Constantine the Great, Rule of Illyrians', which is about Illyrian Emperors of Rome, and this should give one a different point of view about Illyria and Illyrians. I am sure good readers will enjoy reading 'Illyria in World Literature'. Please feel free to share your opinions as well, in the comments' section below.
