Description

Explore the rich legacy of Athenian comedy with Menander in Contexts: 16. For centuries, the works of Menander (c. 342-291 BC) were considered lost to history. However, recent papyrus discoveries have restored his plays to the literary world, placing him alongside legendary dramatists like Sophocles and Euripides. This volume offers a deep look into how his light drama shaped Western theatrical traditions. Part of the Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies series, this book brings together sixteen different contributors to analyze the surviving works of Menander. It provides a comprehensive look at his influence and the historical context of his writing. This text is a valuable resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of ancient Greek drama and its lasting impact on modern storytelling.
