Abstract

This article aims to put forward a new reconstruction of the plot of Menander’s Sikyonioi. Contrary to current opinion, Stratophanes and his helpers devise a plan whereby Philoumena and Dromon make a fake escape to seek refuge at Demeter’s sanctuary. This new reconstruction accounts more satisfactorily for several details of the plot, for which unconvincing explanations have been advanced so far, and is also more consistent with some distinctive features of Stratophanes’ character vis-à-vis other comic soldiers.
