Comment on What are some notable ancient Greek and Roman documents that have been lost?

So much of Aeschylus is missing. He pretty much invented Greek tragedy.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeschylus
He wrote somewhere between 70 and 90 plays, of which only 7 survive.
Pretty much the same for Aristophenes, only now we’re talking comedy instead of tragedy.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristophanes
11 surviving plays (Lysistrata is LEGIT!), 30 or so missing. :(
“Frying-Pan Men” ? I want to know that story…
