The New International Encyclopædia/Eubulus (poet)

EUBULUS. A Greek poet of the Middle Comedy, who flourished about B.C. 375. He is said to have written 104 plays, mainly on mythological subjects, and in simple, elegant language. Some of his works parodied the early tragedies, particularly those of Euripides. Fifty titles and the extant fragments of his plays are collected in Meineke, Fragmenta Comicorum Græcorum (Berlin, 1839–57), and in Kock, Comicorum Atticorum Fragmenta (Leipzig, 1884).
