'''Eubulus''' (Εὔβουλος, ''Euboulos'') was an [[Athens|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 ''[[scholia|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]]. | |||

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edition of the testimonia and fragments is found in Kassel-Austin, ''Poetae Comici Graeci'' Vol V; Kock numbers are outdated and should no longer be used.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