		Menander the Just, (Sanskrit Milinda) was king of "India", i.e.
		Menander is one of the few Bactrian kings mentioned by antique authors, among them Apollodotus of Artemita, who claims that he was an even greater conqueror than Alexander the Great.
		Menander was the first king to strike coins with legends in both Greek and native Sanskrit; according to tradition he also embraced the Buddhist faith, as described in the Milinda dialogues, a classical Buddhist text of the discussions between the king and a wise man.

	Menander I
		Menander I (also known as Milinda in Sanskrit, Pali), was one of the Greek kings of the Indo-Greek Kingdom in northern India from 155 or 150 to 130 BC.
		Menander relocated in a territory centered on eastern Punjab, probably with Sagala (modern Sialkot) as his capital as described in the Milinda Panha, possibly extending from Taxila in the West (as suggested by some of his mint marks [8]) to Mathura in the east (as suggested by coin hoards [9]).
		Menander says in reply: "As a lion, the king of beasts, when put in a cage, though it were of gold, is still facing outside, even so do I live as master in the house but remain facing outside.

	Menander of Laodicea: a rhetor in context
		Menander of Laodicea (‘Menander Rhetor’) is the late ancient rhetorician most familiar to modern classicists, because of the two treatises on epideictic oratory bearing his name.
		This observation invites a reassessment of the significance of Menander himself, and of late ancient rhetoric in general: the widespread perception of late antique oratory as primarily epideictic sits uncomfortably with the predominantly forensic and deliberative orientation of Menander and other rhetoricians.
		Menander: the collection and analysis of the explicit evidence for Menander (2a); the source-critical analysis of the Demosthenes scholia, demonstrating Menander’s contribution (2b) and showing the classroom origins of his commentary (2c).

		Menander’s life and a section on the discovery in 1957 of the entire play should enhance their appreciation of this work, and a detailed character study of the protagonist Knemon will afford sone understanding of his plight.
		I. Menander was not content simply to repeat the traditional qualities of stock figures like the cook and slaves: when he used old themes he made them a part only of an individual character, or he modified them; sometimes he even contradicted tradition to create an effect by the unexpectedness of his treatment.
		Menander is remarkable for presenting a great range of individualized and sympathetically treated slaves; he thought of them neither as mere instruments of their masters’ wishes nor as vehicles for comic interludes.

		The only two kings of this dynasty mentioned by classical authors are Apollodotus and Menander, who conquered a great part of India.
		Apollodotus, who must have been the earlier of the two kings, bears the titles Soter, Philopator, and "Great King"; Menander, who must have reigned a long time, as his portrait is young on some coins and old on others, calls himself Soter and "Just" (SLKatos).
		The questions chosen are just those which would appeal most strongly to the intellectual taste of the India of that age.

		He does not do this because he feels that he is unworthy, it is just that he does not want to be handed the wealth, power, and status that comes with the marriage.
		Menander attempted to retaliate against this accepted form of "democracy", by focusing his plays on the relationship between people of different class and backgrounds.
		In Menander's plays, class consciousness and status are used to teach the public to break down the distinctions between the people of Athens and help to create a true democracy.

	Sample Chapter for Lape, S.: Reproducing Athens: Menander’s Comedy, Democratic Culture, and the Hellenistic City.
		Menander's family romances were just such producers of democratic orthodoxy: they make the democratic cultural order seem natural and thus the only one imaginable in spite of the manifold conditions challenging its dominance.
		Although Menander wrote in what was arguably among the most tumultuous and eventful periods in Athenian history, the chaos of the times barely surfaces in his extant plays and fragments.
		Menander's flexible but formulaic plot patterns establish a correspondence between the processes of biological and political reproduction that is the cornerstone of comedy's work both in and out of Athens.

	Greek and Roman Comedy
		THE comedy of Aristophanes was a medley of boisterous comic-opera and of lofty lyric poetry, of vulgar ballet and of patriotic oratory, of indecent farce and of pungent political satire, of acrobatic pantomime and of brilliant literary criticism, of cheap burlesque and of daringly imaginative fantasy.
		To Menander himself the deprivation is most injurious, since he obviously possessed the delicacy of perception that would have enabled him to handle feminine character with insight and subtlety.
		It has been suggested that there was in Menander something of the well-bred ease of the man of the world, such as we see it in Thackeray, and that in Terence there is rather the terseness and high finish of Congreve.

		By this means Menander, almost by way of an aside, introduces material that contains a limiting factor for the old man's misanthropy and seclusion, material that is then developed in the course of the action and sets in train a series of events and developments that lead ultimately to the necessary resolution of the plot.
		Menander does try to do just this in what follows -- he has no immediate desire to give up the comic potential of developing a character like Knemon -- but the essence of Knemon's weakness as an extreme personality is already there, ready to be called upon when needed.
		Menander himself recognised the pathos by inserting the intervention of the cook and bringing on-stage the comic figure of Niceratos with the sheep at 399 precisely to re-establish a lighter, less tragic, atmosphere after the expulsion scene.

		Menander was the comic playwright of the ancient world, remembered centuries after his death as the writer with no equal.
		Prior to the twentieth century Menander was known only second-hand through a myriad of quotations, including many in the early Church Fathers who were as familiar with his work as anyone.
		Menander's literary legacy, like that of many poets of the ancient world, now rests upon the testimony of fragments, but we are grateful for these scraps.

		Menander’s plays were revived in Athens after his death and some of them were adapted for the Roman stage by Plautus and Terence, through whom they strongly influenced light drama from the Renaissance onwards.

		Just after World War I, when work on the Cairo codex first made a Loeb Menander feasible, F. Allinson could do the job in a single volume of four plays (Epitrepontes, Samia, Perikeiromene, and Heros) with enough room left over for the main literary fragments and a few more bits and pieces.
		Menander's debt to tragedy could be flaunted or obscured, producing broad parody, subtle allusion, or sometimes just flickers in an attentive viewer's memory.
		We need some new ideas, and with Menander now begging to be read just as the burgeoning field of fourth-century studies is producing new contexts for reading him, the time is propitious.

		Menander's biography comes from the Suda, and a partial bibliography is given in the Suda and a fifth-century letter preserved on papyrus.
		The majority of fragments that name Menander come from his commentary on Demosthenes; the number and contents of the fragments show clearly that Menander was an authoritative commentator on Demosthenes who was known for analyzing the arguments of the orator's speeches using issue-theory.
		H.'s main goal here is to supplement the named fragments of Menander by using their contents to help identify anonymous material in the scholia that may ultimately derive from Menander.

		The exemption from death taught by Menander was evidently understood by Irenæus, Tertullian (De Anima, 50), and Eusebius in its physical, literal sense; but the followers of Menander must of course have put a spiritual meaning upon it, or the sect could not have continued in existence for any length of time.
		Menander’s Antiochene activity is reported only by Justin.
		It is probable, therefore, that Tertullian used Irenæus alone in writing his account of Menander, for it is unlikely that both of them would have omitted the same fact if they drew independently from Justin.

		It is the drama of the Classical age, however, that has been the chief beneficiary of this socio-cultural analysis; a similar analysis has not, until quite recently, been applied to the drama of the Hellenistic age, represented today primarily by the comedy of Menander.
		The overall aim of this three-year colloquium is to encourage scholarship that builds on the textual, literary, and historical work of the past and uses it to help situate Menander's plays in their social context.
		The organizers hope to tap into the resurgence of interest in Menander, particularly among younger scholars, and to entice experts from a variety of disciplines--anthropology, archaeology, art, history, philology, philosophy, religion, theater, women's studies--to examine his comedy from their own vantage points.
