An analysis of these plays, so far as their subjects can be ascertained, will be found in the works quoted below, and especially in that of Meineke. The following are the plays of Eupolis, the dates of which are known :-- B. C. 425. At the Lenaea. *Noumhni/ai.Third Prize. 1st. Aristophanes, *)A.xarnei=s. 2nd. Cratinus, *Xeimacome/noi.

Eupolis, like Aristophanes and other comic poets, brought some of his plays on the stage in the name of another person, Apollodorus. (Athen. 5.216d.) Hephaestion (p. 109, ed.

Eu'polis （*Eu)/polis), son of Sosipolis, an Athenian comic poet of the old comedy, and one of the three who are distinguished by Horace, in his well-known line, Eupolis, atque Cratinus, Aristophanesque poetae above all the alii quorum prisca comoedia virorum est a judgment which is confirmed by all we know of the works of the Attic comoedians. Eupolis is said to have exhibited his first drama in the fourth year of the 87th Olympiad, B. C. 429/8, two years before Aristophanes, who was nearly of the same age as Eupolis. (Anon. de (Com p. xxix.; Cyrill. c. Julian. i. p. 13b.; Syncell. Chron. p. 257c.) According to Suidas (s. v.), Eupolis was then only in the seventeenth year of his age; he was therefore born in B. C. 446/5. (Respecting the supposed legal minimum of the age at which a person could produce a drama on the stage, see Clinton, Fast. Hell. vol. ii. Introd. pp. lvi.--lviii.) The date of his death cannot be so easily fixed. The common story was, that Alcibiades, when sailing

hat Eratosthenes mentioned plays produced by Eupolis after the Sicilian expedition. (Ad Att. 6.1.) There is still a fragment extant, in which the poet applies the title strathgo/n to Aristarchus, whom we know to have been strathgo/s in the year B. C. 412/1, that is, four years later than the date at which the common story fixed the death of Eupolis. (Schol. Victor. ad Iliad. 13.353.) The only discoverable foundation for this story, and probably the true account of the poet's death, is the statet the Lacedaemonnians, which, as Meineke observes, must refer either to the battle of Cynossema (B. C. 411), or to that of Aegospotami (B. C. 405). That he died in the former battle is not improbable, since we never hear of his exhibiting after B. C. 412; and if so, it is very likely that the enemies of Alcibiades might charge him with taking advantage of the confusion of the battle to gratify his revenge. Meineke throws out a conjecture that the story may have arisen from a misunderstanding of
