Menander’s plays are light comedic material later expanded on by Plautus, Terrence, Shakespeare, Sheridan and others. He is part of the tradition that led to the comedy of manners and later to farce. (But no twins, as far as I know.) They are generally safe – conservative, non-political, and traditional. His works are mildly entertaining, but not required reading except for historians of drama.

Dyskolus/The Grouch/Old Cantankerous *** – This is an entertaining play with the title character being..more
Recommends it for: anyone interested in the history of comedy
Recommended to Sheila by: I was asked by the editor to contribute to it...
What I learned is how hard it is to translate Greek plays in poetic fragments into readable English.
Menander is for all time - a comedian who inspired the commedia dell'arte, Moliere and Shakespeare
I only read the Grouch using Project Gettysburg.

The Girl From Samos Pdf
Greek: Μένανδρος
Menander (ca. 342–291 BC), the best-known representative of Athenian New Comedy, was the son of well-to-do parents; his father Diopeithes is identified by some with the Athenian general and governor of the Thracian Chersonese known from the speech of Demosthenes De Chersoneso. He presumably derived his taste for comic drama from his uncle Alexis. Comments are closed.
