Overview

Though in later antiquity the social comedies of Menander ranked second in popularity only to Homer, his plays were for centuries thought to be irretrievably lost. Only in this century have instances begun to re-emerge, and it was not until 1958 that a complete play, Dyskolos - The Bad Tempered Man, came to light. With this one can guage the skill that Menander brought to his works, even in the early phase of his career. In preparing this edition, the author aims to make accessible to readers some of th econsummate sophistication in dramatic technique and use of language that once produced the question, Menander and Life, which of you imitated the other?
