    Extractions: Floor Mosaic of Menander, Glykera, and Comedy The Greek playwright Menander (342-291 BC) reclines on a dining couch with his mistress Glykera. At the left stands a female figure labeled KWMWDIA ("Comedy"), referring to Menander's plays. She holds theater props: a mask and a staff with a curved handle typically held by the narrator/messenger on stage. Menander's lively plays certainly would have been performed in the theaters of Antioch, and in the domestic sphere they provided a model for revelry and a topic for learned conversation.

    Extractions: Web2Net Solutions A fter the Macedonian conquest, Greek comedy moved away from the daring personal and political satire of Aristophanes. Lacking complete political independence, writers of this New Comedy found themselves moving towards safer more mundane subject matter. They found their inspiration in the daily life of Athens. Their characters were drawn from the cooks, merchants, farmers and slaves of the city. According to ancient report, the most gifted of these new writers was Menander. Menander, the child of a distinguished family, wrote more than 100 plays during a career that spanned about thirty-three years. He was known for the delicacy and truthfulness of his characterizations, and his poetic style was often mentioned in the same breath as Homer's. Although he won first prize at only eight festivals, he did much to move comedy towards a more realistic representation of human life. Menander's characters spoke in the contemporary dialect and concerned themselves not with the great myths of the past, but rather with the everyday affairs of the people of Athens. His plots revolved around young boys in love with young girls, parents concerned with the misbehavior of their children, unwanted pregnancies, long-lost relatives, and all sorts of sexual misadventures. His first play

    Extractions: Sex Where You Least Expect ItIn Menander In her recent article, Elizabeth Craik calls into question the notion that Menander is the polite dramatist many scholars have assumed him to be. She focuses on sexual double-entendres in the Dyskolos to argue that a sensual context permeates the entire play and especially Sostratos' character. In particular, she discusses lines 682-683, where Sostratos grabs at his 'rope' while gazing at the girl he loves. She suggests that in this scene (as in Aristophanes), schoinion (rope) is slang for penis and that the verb ," he is declaring "I ejaculated three times over." In addition to this passage, she points to other instances in the play where Menander uses Aristophanic terms recognized by scholars as obscene (such as 462, 892, cf. Handley; Gomme-Sandbach loc. cit. In support of Craik's interpretation, we would like to draw attention to another, far longer passage which displays the same type of sexualized humor: Sostratos' soliloquy (522-545). Whereas critics have admitted to some obscenity in the play, they have seen nothing unusual or sexual in this scene. The entire passage, however, is sexually charged, employing numerous Aristophanic terms to describe Sostratos' masturbation. While he is toiling in Knemon's field in expectation of his girl's arrival, he grabs his loins in secret ( ), gets stiff as a board (

86. Herm Of Menander (Getty Museum)

    Extractions: This Roman herm depicts the Greek comic playwright Menander , who lived from about 342 to 291 B.C. The herm reproduces the head of a lost Greek bronze portrait statue by Kephisodotos the Younger and Timarchos, the sons of the artist Praxiteles. The Roman writer Pausanias mentions the original Greek bronze statue, which was set up in the Theater of Dionysos in Athens shortly after Menander's death. The middle-aged man shown in this portrait is known from several other versions of the statue, and the occasional example inscribed with his name confirms the identification of all of these versions as Menander. His plays enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in the Roman period, creating a demand for portraits of him. Beginning in the 500s B.C., Greeks placed herms, pillars surmounted by a head of the god Hermes , at physical boundaries, such as crossroads or even doorways. Such places were sites of ritual and worship where the herms served a magical, protective function. The Romans later adapted the Greek concept of the herm, using it for non-religious, decorative purposes. The heads on Roman herms are often portraits of famous people.

91. Lape, S.: Reproducing Athens: Menander's Comedy, Democratic Culture, And The Hel
    of the book Reproducing Athens menander s Comedy, Democratic Culture, and the Hellenistic City by Lape, S., published by Princeton University  
    http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7679.html
    
    Extractions: Chapter 1 [HTML] or [PDF format] Reproducing Athens examines the role of romantic comedy, particularly the plays of Menander, in defending democratic culture and transnational polis culture against various threats during the initial and most fraught period of the Hellenistic Era. Menander's romantic comedieswhich focus on ordinary citizens who marry for loveare most often thought of as entertainments devoid of political content. Against the view, Susan Lape argues that Menander's comedies are explicitly political. His nationalistic comedies regularly conclude by performing the laws of democratic citizen marriage, thereby promising the generation of new citizens. His transnational comedies, on the other hand, defend polis life against the impinging Hellenistic kingdoms, either by transforming their representatives into proper citizen-husbands or by rendering them ridiculous, romantic losers who pose no real threat to citizen or city. In elaborating the political work of romantic comedy, this book also demonstrates the importance of gender, kinship, and sexuality to the making of democratic civic ideology. Paradoxically, by championing democratic culture against various Hellenistic outsiders, comedy often resists the internal status and gender boundaries on which democratic culture was based. Comedy's ability to reproduce democratic culture in scandalous fashion exposes the logic of civic inclusion produced by the contradictions in Athens's desperately politicized gender system.
