Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Judging from the numerous recovered papyrus fragments, Menander's Misoumenos, or 'The Hated Man' was one of his most popular plays. This edition is the fullest to date of any English language edition of the play and aims to restore as much of the original action as possible through painstaking research and careful reconstruction of language and stagecraft. Some sections, however, can be reproduced nearly entirely, permitting access to brilliantly original theatrical dialogue which had been lost for over two millennia.
