Though incomplete works were found spreaded all across the Mediterranean, mostly though in translated form.

Also I find interesting that the common latinism: Alea Yacta Est, or The Die Is Cast, allegedly said by Julius Caesar before crossing the Rubicon was in reality quoting a Menander's play in greek which was instead "Let the die be cast".

So Menander was clearly a big big deal back then, yet it was mostly unknown to me. Thanks for sharing!
