| Summary: | Antony and Cleopatra rival Romeo and Juliet for the title of most famous lovers in Western drama. Shakespeare's play, probably written around 1606-7 (though not appearing in print until the First Folio of 1623), reflects the popularity of the story in the early modern imagination. Shakespeare's play is heavily indebted to Plutarch's 'Parallel Lives of the Greeks and Romans', written in the first century AD, and translated into English by Sir Thomas North in 1579.
