Editorial Reviews

Book Description

A superb study of the classical Greek dramatist Menander.

Product Description

"Professor Zagagi has given us a lucid, coherent and persuasive account of Menander's dramatic technique." -- Literary Review

"This is by far the best general study of Menander and will be absolutely essential reading for those interested in this justly celebrated author." -- Sir Hugh Lloyd-Jones

Menander (342-293 B.C.) was the greatest dramatist of Greek New Comedy, which has influenced the course of Western drama both in its realism and in its romanticism.
