Menander emerged (circa 342-291 B.C.) during the decline of Athens, an era dominated by the Macedonian occupation. His audiences were no longer intellectually vibrant Greeks; they had an appetite for pulp stories that might have made them content watching a TV western. "Stay at home." one of his characters says. "A man is free nowhere else." Menander gave the Greeks sharply etched, lifelike stories, tenderly observed and hilariously written. He was the poet who wrote: "Think like a free man and you will not be a slave." and "All that defiles a man comes from within." To St. Paul, he was the only pagan dramatist worthy of quoting: "Evil communications corrupt good manners."

They seized the first opportunity to oust him from power, even though doing so meant dealing with autocrats. When Demetrius Poliorcetes, one of Cassander's chief rivals in the struggle for the empire and the Greek cities, made an unexpected appearance in the Athenian harbor in 307, the Athenians readily accepted his assistance and reestablished the democracy. While fifteen years of oligarchic domination seems not to have diminished the Athenian preference for democracy, it did give the Athenians time to come to terms with the new realities of international politics and their city's diminished place within them. By 307 the Athenians were ready to compromise with external autocratic rulers for the sake of maintaining democracy in the city. In fact, the policy of liberating the Greek cities from oligarchic rule adopted by Demetrius Poliorcetes and his father, Antigonus Monophthalmus, made it seem like the Athenians were not compromising at all.
