Best Answer

Menander was a famous Greek dramatist/playwright until his death in 290 BC. Most of what we know of him comes from documents of his attendance at various venues, such as the Lenaia festival, and the accounts of others. Although he penned more than a hundred comedies, "Dyskolos" is only surviving play we have on record. All others have been lost to time.
