The Plays and Fragments by Menander
The greatest writer of Greek New Comedy and the founding father of European comedy, Menander (c.341-290 BC) wrote over one hundred plays, of which only one complete play and substantial fragments of others survive. This new verse translation is accurate and highly readable, providing a consecutive text by using surviving words in the damaged papyri.
Peter Brown provides a sharp and wide-ranging, yet coherent introduction.. Balme's translation is the most meticulous yet to appear in English. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
