Download or read book Menander Epitrepontes written by Alan H. Sommerstein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers who may have no previous knowledge of Menander's comedies to Epitrepontes (The Arbitration), arguably the most exquisitely crafted of his better-preserved plays. It explains what we know about the play, how we know it, and how far we can tentatively fill in the gaps in our knowledge. Sommerstein analyses the nature of the dramatic genre (Athenian New Comedy) to which Epitrepontes belongs. He assesses the plot and the characters, every one of whom makes an essential contribution to the uplifting outcome, and the social and ethical assumptions that dramatist and audience shared. As well as looking at the influences of earlier drama and of contemporary philosophical and popular thought, he considers the afterlife of Menandrian comedy in general and of Epitrepontes in particular, both in antiquity and in modern times, but also in the long period in between, when Menander was the great dramatist whose plays were thought to have been irrevocably lost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comedies of the Athenian dramatist Menander (c. 342-291 BC) and his contemporaries were the ultimate source of a Western tradition of light drama that has continued to the present day. Yet for over a millennium, Menander’s own plays were thought to have been completely lost. Thanks to a long and continuing series of papyrus discoveries, Menander has now been able to take his place among the major surviving ancient Greek dramatists alongside Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes. In this book, sixteen contributors examine and explore the Menander we know today in light of the various literary, intellectual, and social contexts in which his plays can be viewed. Topics covered include: the society, culture, and politics of his generation; the intellectual currents of the period; the literary precursors who inspired Menander (or whom he expected his audiences to recall); and responses to Menander, from his own time to ours. As the first wide-ranging collective study of Menander in English, this book is essential reading for those interested in ancient comedy the world over.

Download or read book Menander Volume I written by Menander (Dichter, Griechenland) and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Menander, the dominant figure in New Comedy, wrote over 100 plays. By the Middle Ages they had all been lost. Happily papyrus finds in Egypt during the past century have recovered one complete play, substantial portions of six others, and smaller but still interesting fragments. Menander was highly regarded in antiquity and his plots, set in Greece, were adapted for the Roman world by Plautus and Terence. Geoffrey Arnott's new Loeb edition is in three volumes. Volume I contains six plays, including the only complete one extant, Dyskolos (The Peevish Fellow), which won first prize in Athens in 317 B.C., and Dis Expaton (Twice a Swindler), the original of Plautus' Two Bacchises. Volume II contains the surviving portions of ten Menander plays. Among these are the recently published fragments of Misoumenos ("The Man She Hated"), which sympathetically presents the flawed relationship of a soldier and a captive girl; and the surviving half of Perikeiromene ("The Girl with Her Hair Cut Short"), a comedy of mistaken identity and lovers' quarrel. Volume III begins with Samia (The Woman from Samos), which has come down to us nearly complete. Here too are the very substantial extant portions of Sikyonioi (The Sicyonians) and Phasma (The Apparition) as well as Synaristosai (Women Lunching Together), on which Plautus's Cistellaria was based. Arnott's edition of the great Hellenistic playwright has been garnering wide praise for making these fragmentary texts more accesible, elucidating their dramatic movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Plays of Menander: The Hero, Epitrepontes, Periceiromene and Samia; Edited With Introductions, Explanatory Notes, Critical Appendix, and Bibliography Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg, have been of assistance in constituting the text. I have ventured to depend upon these reproductions in a few instances, especially in the mutilated end of the second Leipzig fragment, and to depart from the readings favored by the scholars who have examined the manuscripts directly. The lack of a photographic reproduction of the Cairo manuscript is a serious handicap to every editor and has greatly retarded the work of reconstructing the text. Not only are passages still uncertain which would in all probability have been finally restored, but the wavering and often conflicting testimony of the scholars who have examined the papyrus has led to an unnecessary and unfortunate multiplication of conjectural restorations. And yet, with our pres ent imperfect knowledge of this manuscript, many proposed restorw tions which will ultimately be discarded have at present a provisional standing in the history of the text and will assist both in the final decipherment of doubtful verses and in the interpretation of hope lessly defective passages. I have therefore thought it desirable to give in the Critical Appendix a full report of the divergent or mutually complementary readings of Lefebvre, Korte, and di Ricci, and also to record rather fully the more notable restorations that have been suggested. It is hoped that the Critical Appendix, in spite of its bulk, will be found useful as a record of the scholarly labor which has been bestowed upon this manuscript since its dis covery. It should be added, however, that no such record can do full justice to the contributions of the first editor, M. Lefebvre.

Download or read book The Plays and Fragments written by Menander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Menander was the founding father of European comedy. From Ralph Roister Doister to What the Butler Saw, from Henry Fielding to P. G. Wodehouse, the stock motifs and characters can be traced back to him. The greatest writer of Greek New Comedy, Menander (c.341-290 BC) wrote over one hundred plays but until the twentieth century he was known to us only by short quotations in ancient authors. Since 1907 papyri found in the sand of Egypt have brought to light more and more fragments, many substantial, and in 1958 the papyrus text of a complete play was published, The Bad-Tempered Man (Dyskolos) . His romantic comedies deal with the lives of ordinary Athenian families, and they are the direct ancestors not only of Roman comedy but also of English comedy from the Renaissance to the present day. This new verse translation is accurate and highly readable, providing a consecutive text with supplements based on the dramatic situation and surviving words in the damaged papyri. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
