THERE HAS BEEN no agreement about the merits of the Dyskolos, and praise or (more generally) blame' has been awarded in direct proportion to the impression that the play's obvious weaknesses and its just as obvious charms have made on its assessors. The irrelevant ghost of Aristophanes, furthermore, haunts the background.2 Perhaps more reliable criteria might be afforded by a careful analysis of some of the important dramatic features in various scenes of the play. This article is intended as a small contribution to this end; it deals with the meeting of Gorgias and Sostratos in vv. 259-298, a passage which reveals some of the qualities that appear to distinguish Menander from what we know and suspect about his rivals, and which in its imaginative realism and social delicacy may help to explain the admiration that was felt for Menander in ancient times
