Menander

Menander (c. 342/341 BCE – c. 290 BCE) was a Greek dramatist, the best-known representative of the New Comedy. Among his other dramas, he wrote The Flute Girl, which included one of the earliest references to Byzantium.

During the early 16th century, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze retrieved a copy of this book which Niccolò Polo had hidden two centuries earlier near the Myrelaion Church in Constantinople.
