Eubulus (poet)

Eubulus (poet)

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:

*Ancylion
*Anchises
*Amaltheia
*Men Who Were Trying To Get Home Safe
*Antiope
*The Impotents
*Auge
*Bellerophon
*Ganymede
*Glaucus
*Daedalus
*Danae
*Deucalion
*Dionysius
*Dolon
*Peace
*Europa
*Echo
*Ixion
*Ion
*Basket-Bearers
*Campylion
*The Man Who Was Glued To the Spot
*Cercopes
*Clepsydra
*The Lark
*Dice-Players
*Spartans or Leda
*Medea
*The Mill-Girl
*Mysians
*Nannion
*Nausicaa
*Neottis
*Xuthus
*Odysseus or Men Who See Everything
*Oedipus
*Oenimaus or Pelops
*Olbia
*Orthannes
*Pamphilus
*The All-Night Festival
*Parmeniscus
*The Pentathlete
*Plangon
*The Pimp
*Procris
*Prosousia or Cycnus
*Semele or Dionysus
*The Shoemaker
*Female Garland-Vendors
*Sphinx-Carion
*Titans
*Wet-Nurses or The Wet-Nurse
*Phoenix
*The Graces
*Chrysilla
*The Harp-Girl

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edition of the testimonia and fragments is found in Kassel-Austin, Poetae Comici Graeci Vol II; Kock numbers are outdated and should no longer be used.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).
