A poet second only to Homer in the ancient world, Menander strongly influenced European drama and provides lively, engaging theatre. A pioneer in Greek New Comedy, he created the first plays that focused on the lives of common people - superb comedies of manners stressing character and misunderstanding, written in a language that evokes his age’s colloquial speech. Translator Norma Miller introduces readers to Menander’s fascinating work. Plays and Fragments features all but two of the surviving plays, with a selection of passages attributed to Menander. 265 pages.
