Menander, as he often testifies in his works, had
a profound admiration for Euripides, and imitated
him, although in a different type of work. Now,

the careful study of Menander alone would, in my
opinion, be sufficient to develop all those qualities

his gift of style, so perfectly does he adapt himself
to every kind of circumstance, character and emotion.
