Menandrea ex papyris et membranis vetustissimis

Though in antiquity the social comedies of Menander ranked second in popularity only to Homer, his plays were for centuries thought to be irretrievably lost. It was only in the 20th century that large sections of his work began to emerge, The Arbitration's major portion published in 1907, The Shield in 1969. With these and other finds we can now gauge in full the skill that Menander brought to his works. In preparing this edition the author has aimed to make accessible to readers some of the consummate sophistication in dramatic technique and use of language that once produced the question, `Menander and Life, which of you imitated the other?'
