Menander

Menander (/məˈnændər/; Greek: Μένανδρος, Menandros) was a Greek dramatist who dominated Athenian New Comedy. He penned 108 comedies and won the prestigious Lenaia festival eight times, earning him a legendary status. His impressive record at City Dionysia remains unknown but is likely to have been equally spectacular. As one of the most celebrated writers of ancient times, Menander's work vanished during the Middle Ages, leaving behind only fragments that were rediscovered in the 20th century. Fortunately, his single surviving play, Dyskolos, has endured almost intact. This object is part of "Scan The World", a groundbreaking initiative created by MyMiniFactory.
