Reproducing Athens: Menander's Comedy, Democratic Culture, and the Hellenistic City Hardcover - 2003
by Susan Lape
First line
Athenian history between the battle of Chaeronea in 338 B.C. and the end of the Chremonidean War in 260 is punctuated by one military disaster after another.
From the rear cover
"Lape reads Menander's plays with extremely close attention to the historical moments to which they can be dated and with a fine eye for the political implications of their plots. This is new and striking, making this book a highly significant contribution to the field."--Alan Zeitlin, Bard College
"This book is timely and will move the level of debate about Menander to a higher plane. It should find a wide readership in gender studies and comparative literature, as well as among students of ancient literature and culture. It has much to say not just about New Comedy but also about the organization of the Athenian polis in general."--Richard Hunter, Cambridge University
