MENANDER

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 111 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MENANDER , of
Laodicea
  on the Lycus,
Greek
  rhetorician and commentator. Two incomplete
treatises
  on epideictic (or show) speeches have been preserved under his name, but it is generally considered that they cannot be by the same author. Bursian attributes the first to Menander, whom he placed in the 4th
century
 , and the second to an
anonymous
  rhetorician of
Alexandria
  Troas, who possibly lived in the time of Diocletian. Others, from the superscription of the Paris MS., assign the first to Genethlius of Petrae in Palestine. In view of the general tradition of antiquity, that both
treatises
  were the
work
  of Menander, it is possible that the author of the second was not identical with the Menander mentioned by Suidas; since the name is of frequent occurrence in later
Greek
  literature. The first treatise, entitled bad/mats Twv E,rLS&LKTLKWV, discusses the different kinds of epideictic speeches; the second, IIepi ,7rtheuertiLY, has
special
  titles for each chapter.
Text in L. Spengel's Rhetores graeci, iii. 329-446, and in C. Bursian's " Der Rhetor Menandros and seine Schriften " in Abhandl. der bayer. Akad. der Wissenschaften, xvi. (1882); see also W. Nitsche, Der Rhetor M. and die Scholien zu
Demosthenes
 ; J. E. Sandys, Hist. of Classical Scholarship (1906), i. 338; W. Christ, Gesch. der griechischen Litteratur (1898), 550.
