The Flute Girl

The Flute Girl was a book written by Menander, obtained by Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the 16th century in Constantinople.

Summary

This obscure Greek drama from the fourth century BCE, thought lost for over a millennium, contains one of the earliest descriptions of ancient Byzantium, referring to the city as a rowdy port full of drunks and crooks. Whether this was surprising to audiences at the time is unknown, but that this was worth mentioning seems significant of something. Jealousy, perhaps.
