¹ On p. 14, n. 1, he remarks ‘The biography of Menander in Suidas describes him as “madly devoted to women”; he seems at any rate in a sort of intellectual championship of women to have taken on the heritage of Euripides.’ What Suidas says, apparently adapting a comic trimeter, is that Menander was ὀξύς τε τὸν νοῦν καὶ περὶ γυναῖκας ἐκμανέστατος, keen of wit but most sharp-set after a pretty woman. There is nothing here to suggest feminism. The insistence (p. 15 and elsewhere) on the exposed child having been originally a ‘year-baby’ seems out of place; whatever its origin, the motif had long passed into märchen when Menander wrote.
