Mene'crates
(
Μενεκράτης).
1. A comic poet, mentioned only by Suidas, who says
δράματα αὐτοῦ Μανέκτωρ ἢ Ἑρμιονεύς, where the plural
δράματα suggests the alteration of
ἢ to
καί Μανέκτωρ, is obviously an abbreviation of
Μάνης Ἕκτωρ, a title which seems to belong to the Middle Comedy. (Fabric.
Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 469; Meineke,
Hist. Crit. Com. Graec. p. 493.)
