The new Loeb Menander… has received a warm welcome… It is a work of solid and meticulous scholarship, the mature production of an acknowledged authority on Greek Comedy* Classical Review *
An excellent guide to Menander… Arnott has given us fine texts, clear translations, brief and useful introductions, and the help that is needed to make sense [of the] fragments. -- David Konstan * Scholia Reviews *
William Geoffrey Arnott, FBA (1930–2010) was Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of Leeds.
