Menander's Perikeiromene, or the 'Woman with shorn head' tells the story of the soldier Polemon, who returns home from service to discover, as he thinks, that his girl, Glykera, has found another lover. Blindly jealous, he shears off her hair and goes off to drown his sorrows with companions. But as is typical with New Comedy, all is not as it seems. Discoveries of fragmented manuscripts of this play in the twentieth century have more or less brought it back to life.
