Synopsis

The aim of this book is to make the Dyskolos of Menander (342 – c. 290) accessible to intermediate students of ancient Greek. The running vocabulary and grammatical commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page so that readers can progress through the text, improving their knowledge of Greek while enjoying our most complete example of “New Comedy.” The Dyskolos is a great text for intermediate readers. The sentence structure and syntax are straightforward and vocabulary is repeated frequently throughout the play. Menander’s Greek shows only a few minor variations on the standard Attic of the classical period. The play’s language is also conversational and thus provides a good balance to the more formal Greek of tragedy and other canonical genres.
