Plutarch loves and highly esteems Menander. He quotes him about 50 times (in many cases preserving fragments otherwise unknown). This paper offers a rapid survey, then choosing to dwell on the most important and meaningful ones. Subsequently, the attention turns to the Comparatio Aristophanis et Menandri, that is known to us only through a Compendium: but some Plutarch’s quotations clearly show his admiration and the reasons for which he definitely preferred Menander to Aristophanes.
