Dyskolos (, , translated as
The Grouch,
The Misanthrope,
The Curmudgeon,
The Bad-tempered Man or
Old Cantankerous) is an
Ancient Greek comedy by
Menander, the only one of his plays, and of the whole
New Comedy, that has survived in almost complete form. It was first presented at the
Lenaian festival in 317–16 BC, where it won Menander the first-place prize. It was long known only through fragmentary quotations; but a
papyrus manuscript of the nearly complete
Dyskolos, dating to the 3rd century, was recovered in
Egypt in 1952 and forms part of the
Bodmer Papyri.
