Eubulus (Εὔβουλος, Euboulos) 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 and won six victories at the Lenaia. An obscure notice in a scholium on Plato (test. 4) appears to suggest that some of his plays were staged by Aristophanes’ son Philippus. He attacked Philocrates, Callimedon, Cydias, and Dionysius I of Syracuse the tyrant of Syracuse.
Eubulus's plays were chiefly about mythological subjects and often parodied the tragic playwrights, especially Euripides.
