This new Loeb Menander is three times the size of the Allinson volume. W. G. Arnott, internationally recognized Menander expert, brings us all of the work of the great Hellenistic comic playwright that is now available. A Greek text based on careful study of the discovered papyri faces a skillful translation that fits today's tastes, with full explanatory notes. Volume II contains the surviving portions of ten Menander plays. Among these are the recently published fragments of Misoumenos ("The Man She Hated"), which sympathetically presents the flawed relationship of a soldier and a captive girl; and the surviving half of Perikeiromene ("The Girl with Her Hair Cut Short"), a comedy of mistaken identity and lovers' quarrel. So influential in antiquity?his plays were adapted for the Roman stage by Plautus and Terence?Menander's comic art can at last be fully known and enjoyed again. It is a comedy that focuses on the hazards of love and trials of family life?as is typical of New Comedy, a style of which Menander is the leading writer. 607 $aAthens (Greece)$vDrama 676 $a882.01 700 $aMenander$0439103 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996199219103316 996 $aHeros.
