Description

Description

Born in Kifisia in 342 BC, raised in a wealthy family, athletic, handsome, despite being slightly cross-eyed, Menander was a contemporary of Epicurus, whose philosophical system clearly influenced him.

In the fifty-two years of his life (he drowned while swimming in the area of Phreattydas, in Piraeus), he dedicated himself to his highly productive writing activity and, according to Suida, numbered one hundred and eight comedies.

Of these works, only "Dyscolus" survives intact, and to a very large extent, "Samia" and "Epitrepontes"; we have smaller fragments from several other works.
