Menander: Testimonia and Fragments
Menander: Testimonia and Fragments
This chapter assembles all the testimonia and fragments in which Menander is explicitly named; the Greek text is accompanied by an English translation and commentary. The collection is overwhelmingly dominated by the fragments of Menander’s commentary on Demosthenes. He may also have written commentaries on Aeschines and Aelius Aristides. Commentaries on works of rhetorical theory by Minucianus and Hermogenes are also attested. Two works on epideictic oratory have been transmitted under his name, and it is argued that only the second of the two was actually written by Menander.
Keywords: Demosthenes, Aeschines, Aelius Aristides, Minucianus, Hermogenes of Tarsus, technical commentary, epideictic
