Eubulus (Ancient Greek:Εὔβουλος,Euboulos) was anAthenianMiddle Comedy poet, victorious six times at theLenaia, first probably in the late 370s or 360s BC (IG II2 2325.144; just before Ephippus)

According to theSuda (test. 1), which dates him to the 101stOlympiad (i.e. 376/2) and identifies him as "on the border between the Middle and theOld Comedy", he produced 104 comedies and won six victories at theLenaia. An obscure notice in ascholium onPlato (test. 4) appears to suggest that some of his plays were staged byAristophanes’ sonPhilippus. He attackedPhilocrates,Callimedon,Cydias, andDionysius the tyrant of Syracuse.

Eubulus's plays were chiefly about mythological subjects and often parodied the tragic playwrights, especiallyEuripides.

150 fragments (including threedubia) of his comedies survive, along with fifty-eight titles:

The standard edition of the fragments and testimonia is inRudolf Kassel andColin François Lloyd Austin'sPoetae Comici Graeci Vol. V. The eight-volumePoetae Comici Graeci produced from 1983 to 2001 replaces the outdated collectionsFragmenta comicorum graecorum [de;fr],Comicorum Atticorum Fragmenta byTheodor Kock (1880-1888) andComicorum Graecorum Fragmenta byGeorg Kaibel (1899).

Richard L. Hunter offers a careful study of Eubulus’ career and the fragments of his plays inEubulus: The Fragments.^[1]
