"The Magnificent Lovers (Les Amants magnifiques)" by Molière is a comedic play from the 1600s that makes fun of love, competition, and how fake rich court life could be. Princess Eriphyle has three men after her heart: two princes named Iphicrates and Timocles, who try to impress her, and a general named Sostratus, who thinks he’s not good enough for her but loves her anyway. With the help of an astrologer named Anaxarchus, Eriphyle tries to figure out who she wants, but in the end, the goddess Venus steps in to help Eriphyle choose Sostratus as her husband, showing that love can be surprising and doesn't always care about money or power.
