Eubulus
Author
Who is Eubulus?
Eubulus was an Athenian "Middle Comic" poet, victorious six times at the Lenaia, first probably in the late 370s or 360s BC
According to the Suda, which dates him to the 101st Olympiad and identifies him as "on the border between the Middle and the Old Comedy", he produced 104 comedies and won six victories at the Lenaia. An obscure notice in a scholium on Plato appears to suggest that some of his plays were staged by Aristophanes’ son Philippus. He attacked Philocrates, Callimedon, Cydias, and Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse.
Eubulus's plays are chiefly on mythological subjects and often parodies other tragic poets, especially Euripides.
