Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hellenistic "New Comedy" was characterized by plays that focused on romantic relationships, family dynamics, and everyday life. Menander, an Athenian playwright, was considered the best example of this genre and wrote over 100 plays, although only a handful of them have survived to modern times. The other playwrights listed were all from earlier periods in Greek drama and did not specialize in the same style of comedy.
