The best example of Hellenistic New Comedy is often attributed to Menander, a prominent playwright of the period. His works, characterized by their focus on everyday life and social situations, include the play "Dyskolos" (The Bad-Tempered Man), which exemplifies the style and themes of New Comedy. Menander's influence can be seen in later Roman comedies, particularly in the works of Plautus and Terence.
