Menander, reception, Imperial Period.Abstract
This paper focuses on the reception of Menander in the Imperial Period. For that, pictographic and literary examples that confirm the popularity of the dramatist are brought about in order to argue that the success and latter downfall of Menander are connected to the use of Menandrean texts in schools.
