Overall, Cinaglia's study represents a nuanced and original reading of Menander's plays in light of Aristotelian ethics. It reveals how, despite the standard situations of the comic plots, Menandrean plays explore in depth how people make choices, mistakes, correct themselves and try to find the truth in a challenging world. Aristotle and Menander on the Ethics of Understanding will be of use to anyone interested in Greek drama, philosophy and connections between the two. - Dana Lacourse Munteanu, Ohio State University, Journal of Hellenic Studies 136 (2016).
