[Language: French]

The Triumph of Love (French: Le Triomphe de l'amour) is a three-act French comic play by Pierre de Marivaux.
This play, based, like many others by Marivaux, on transvestite and seduction, was not a success at its initial performance. "They were shocked to see a princess of Sparta disguise herself in search of a young man whom she does not know she is loved, and deceive a philosopher by a deceit worthy of Scapin". For the public of the time, the historical implausibility revolved mainly around the fact that a princess of such importance, whom they compared to the daughter of a king of France, would run adventures in this way.

Leonid, princess of Sparta, reigns over a throne once usurped by her uncle. She wants to give power back to the young Agis, to whom it rightfully belongs. However, the latter lives in seclusion in the house of the philosopher Hermocrates. Leonid and her attendant, both disguised as men, break into the philosopher's house where, playing on the ambiguity of their identity, the heroine will lead a seduction enterprise on three different fronts to make herself loved by only one. In Marivaux, and particularly in this play of 1732, love must be put to the test: traps must be set for it, proceed in stages, make sure that it is not the illusory product of vanity or ignorance, if we want to lead it to triumph.
