- Rhesus †

Homer
0 of 2 readEverything survives — 27,803 lines. A miracle of copying.
Menander
0 of 1 read1 of his ~108 plays survives.
One complete play, recovered from a papyrus in 1952. The rest are fragments.
† authorship disputed. Prometheus Bound may not be Aeschylus — counted among his seven anyway, as every edition does, with an eyebrow raised. Rhesus may not be Euripides, and is shown here but left out of the forty-six.
