 Menander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Menander (342–291 BC), Greek dramatist, the chief representative of the New Comedy, was born in Athens.
He was the son of well-to-do parents; his father Diopeithes is identified by some with the Athenian general and governor of the Thracian Chersonese known from the speech of Demosthenes De Chersoneso.
It is doubtful whether these fragments, which are of sufficient length to afford a basis for the consideration of the merits of Menander as a writer of comedies, justify the great reputation enjoyed by him in ancient times.
