Eubulus (poet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eubulus was an Athenian "Middle Comic" poet, victorious six times at the Lenaia, first probably in the late 370s or 360s BC (IG II2 2325.144; just before Ephippus). According to the Suda (test. 1), which dates him to the 101st Olympiad (i.e. 376/2) and identifies him as "on the border between the Middle and the Old Comedy", he produced 104 comedies. An obscure notice in a scholium on Plato (test. 4) appears to suggest that some of his plays were staged by Aristophanes’ son Philippus. 150 fragments (including three dubia) of his comedies survive, along with fifty-eight titles.

The standard edition of the testimonia and fragments is found in Kassel-Austin, Poetae Comici Graeci Vol II; Kock numbers are outdated and should no longer be used. Richard L. Hunter offers a careful study of Eupolis’ career and the fragments of his plays in Eubulus: The Fragments (Cambridge, 1983).
