Menander (Menandros; c. 342/41 - c. 290 BC) was a Greek dramatist

Menander (Menandros; c. 342/41 - c. 290 BC) was a Greek dramatist and the best-known representative of Athenian New Comedy. He wrote 108 comedies and took the prize at the Lenaia festival eight times. He was one of the most popular writers in antiquity, but his work was lost during the Middle Ages and is now known in highly fragmentary form, much of which was discovered in the 20th century. Only one play, Dyskolos, has survived almost complete. Romanian National Museum.
