ONE of the teachers of the "Simonian" Gnosis who was singled out by Justin for special mention, because His Date. of his having led "many" away, even as Marcion was gaining an enormous following in Justin's own time, is Menander, a native, we are told, of the Samaritan town Capparatea. The notice in Justin shows us that Menander was a man of a past generation, and that he was specially famous because of his numerous following. We know that the dates of this period are exceedingly obscure even for Justin, our earliest authority. For instance, writing about 150 A.D. , he says that Jesus lived 150 years before his time. His "Simon" and Menander dates are equally vague; Menander may have lived a generation or four generations before Justin's time, or still earlier. The centre of activity of Menander is said to have been at Antioch, one of the most important commercial His Doctrines.

However, many of Menander's comedies were translated into Latin and adapted by authors like Terentius and Plautus, and these plays have survived. They were extremely popular. Julius Caesar , on crossing the Rubico , quoted Menander: "the die is cast". Pliny the Elder called the poet a man litterarum subtilitati sine aemulo genitus , "unrivalled for perception in literary knowledge".

26. Greek And Roman Comedy A history of the comic drama, focusing on its origins and development in the works of Aristophanes, menander, Plautus and Terence. http://www.theatrehistory.com/ancient/comedy001.html

GREEK AND ROMAN COMEDY This document was originally published in The Development of the Drama . Brander Matthews. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1912. pp. 74-106. Although the true dramatist cannot but conceive both the incidents of his play and its personages at the same moment, yet we are accustomed to consider tragedy and comedy nobler than melodrama and farce, because in the former the characters themselves seem to create the situations of the plot and to dominate its structure; whereas in the latter it is obvious rather that the situations have evoked the characters, and that these are realized only in so far as the conduct of the story may cause them to reveal the characteristics thus called for. Comedy, then, appears to us as a humorous piece, the action of which is caused by the clash of character on character; and this is a definition which fits THE MISANTHROPE , THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL, and THE GENDRE DE M. POIRIER . In all these comedies the plot, the action, the story, is the direct result of the influence of the several characters on one another. A consideration of the history of dramatic literature will show that comedy of this standard is very infrequent indeed, since the humorous piece is always tending either to stiffen into drama, as in

Home Ancient Theatre Medieval Theatre 16th Century ... 20th Century MENANDER This biography was originally published in A New General Biographical Dictionary. Hugh James Rose. London, 1857. p. 89. MENANDER, the most celebrated of the Greek comic poets, was born at Athens B.C. 341. His father's name was Diopithes; and his master in philosophy was Theophrastus, according to the testimony of Pamphila. He is considered as the introducer of the New Comedy , which refined upon the grossness and licence of the old, and banished living and real characters from the stage. The title of the poet of nature was certainly his due, according to the exclamation of Aristophanes the grammarian, "O Menander and Nature, which of you copied from the workmanship of the other?" Quintilian gives him the fullest praise for his strength and consistency in the display of the characters of his dramas; and Ovid dwells upon the same merit, in enumerating this poet among those whose fame would be immortal. Julius Caesar , in calling the elegant Terence "dimidiatus Menander," and at the same time lamenting his deficiency in the

By far the most important writer of New Comedy was Menander. Author of about 100 plays, Menander was regarded by the ancients as the greatest playwright of all. Myriad encomia have survived from his own time praising his veracity to nature, his inventive genius, etc. Plutarch preferred him to Aristophanes . Quintilian regarded him as perfection itself in speech, character analysis and in his portrait of life. Sadly the evidence that has survived does not confirm these extravagant opinions. Only one complete play is extant, Dyskolos , discovered in 1957. Substantial fragments exist of the Epitrepontes (The Arbitration), She Who Was Shorn, The Shield and The Woman of Samos. "Meager" fragments remain of about sixty other plays. Most scholars agree that his plays have not aged well. Erich Segal, for example, says, "...judging by the extant Menandrian drama he was no laugh riot. Rather his plays presented a series of polished sedate character studies of the Hellenistic leisure class. There were essentially unmusical (there were some cholral entr'actes) and uncomic (no gags)."

He is the most famous writer of what is described as Athenian new comedy. Eight of his comedies were prize-winners. He imitated Euripides and was in turn adapted by Roman writers of comedy, Terence and Plautus. Unlike the classical writers who wrote mythical plots or political commentary, Menander chose as topics for his plays aspects of daily life with happy endings and themes inspired by Aristotle's Ethics . Menander's characters, shown with psychological realism, were stern fathers, young lovers, crafty slaves, and more, who couldn't resort to the deus ex machina of tragedy to settle their problems.

Menander From Wikinfo Jump to: navigation search Menander ( 291 BC ), Greek dramatist, the chief representative of the New comedy, was born at 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. He doubtless derived his taste for the comic drama from his uncle Alexis He was the friend and associate, if not the pupil, of Theophrastus , and was on intimate terms with Demetrius of Phalerum . He also enjoyed the patronage of Ptolemy Soter , the son of Lagus , who invited him to his court. But Menander, preferring independence and the company of his mistress Glycera in his villa in the Peiraeus, refused. According to the note of a scholiast on the Ibis of Ovid , he was drowned while bathing; his countrymen built him a tomb on the road leading to Athens, where it was seen by Pausanias . A well-known statue in the Vatican , formerly thought to represent Marius , is now generally supposed to be Menander (although some distinguished archaeologists dispute this), and has been identified with his statue in the theatre at Athens, also mentioned by Pausanias. Menander was the author of more than a hundred comedies, but only gained the prize eight times. His rival in dramatic art and also in the affections of Glycera was

Menander for Kids - the Greek playwright Menander HOMER HESIOD ARCHILOCHUS SAPPHO ... DEMOSTHENES (This painting was done much later, in the Roman period, by someone who had never seen Menander) Menander is the only playwright from the Hellenistic period whose plays survive. Actually only one play, the Dyskolos, survives, and a lot of fragments. Even the Dyskolos was unknown until about thirty years ago, when archaeologists found a copy of it on some old papyri in Egypt Like Aristophanes, Menander wrote comedies (funny plays). Most of his plays were a lot like sit-coms or chick flicks today - boy meets girl, then there's some kind of problem (usually their parents don't want them to marry), and then in the end something happens so that they do get married. Menander is the first person we know of who wrote this kind of story. Later writers like Shakespeare used his plots, and so do modern TV writers.
