Menecrates
Μενεκράτης
(Μενεκράτης).
1. A comic poet, mentioned only by Suidas, who says δράματα αὐτοῦ Μανέκτωρ ἢ Ἑρμιονεύς, where the plural δράματα suggests the alteration of ἢ to καί Μανέκτωρ, is obviously an abbreviation of Μάνης Ἕκτωρ, a title which seems to belong to the Middle Comedy. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 469; Meineke, Hist. Crit. Com. Graec. p. 493.)
