King Menander was one of the most well-known Greeks who reigned in India during the Hellenistic period. At that time, Greek culture had spread throughout the region, and the influence of the Hellenistic spirit was quite strong. The work "The Questions of King Menander" has a strange and interesting history. It was written in Northern India during the early years of the Christian era during Menander's reign. It is a well-known Buddhist text and can be said to be the only prose work composed in ancient India that can be considered—according to modern views—as a successful literary work. The subject it deals with concerns some of the fundamental theoretical questions of every religion and existence in general. Its form is that of questions and answers. The writing style and literary flair make it a very captivating read, but also very interesting as it deals with topics that concern all people of every era and religion. With this edition of the translation, the Greek reader has the opportunity for the first time to read this very interesting work.
