		Eumolpus, who was counsel for Flavius Archippus, insisted that Dion should first be required to deliver in his accounts relating to this work, before it was assigned to the corporation; suggesting that he had not acted in the manner he ought.

		I have inspected the buildings in question, where I find your statue is placed in a library; and as to the edifice in which the bodies of Dion’s wife and son are said to be deposited, it stands in the middle of a court, which is enclosed with a colonnade.

		The role of Eumolpus as narrator is important to consider in establishing the literary character and purpose of the Petronian tale.
		From the outset Eumolpus takes pains to establish the widow as the paragon of womanly virtue, but the notion that `she attracted women from neighbouring countries to come just to see her' (111) is not particularly realistic; it verges on hyperbole.
		Eumolpus' account demonstrates Petronius' superb selectivity: the details he omits are essential neither to our nor the contextual audience's understanding of the tale and do not detract from the moral theme; the details he does include establish the tale's credibility.

		According to some, the Eleusi; nians under Eumolpus attacked the Athenians under Erechtheus, but were defeated, and Eumol pus with his two sons, Phorbas and Immaradus, were slain.
		Mythology regards Eumolpus as the founder of the Eleusinian mysteries, and as the first priest of Demeter and Dionysus ; the goddess herself taught him, Triptolemus, Diocles, and Celeus, the sacred rites, and he is therefore sometimes described as having himself invented the cultivation of the vine and of fruit-trees in general.
		As Eumolpus was regarded as an ancient priestly bard, poems and writings on the mysteries were fabricated and circulated at a later time under his name.

	Roman Satire engages the subject of pedagogy in a duplicitous manner: it at once ridicules the stereotyped ...
		At various points in the narrative, Eumolpus represents himself as a Stoic philosopher (88), a declamatory poet (89-90, 92 et passim), a pedagogue and guardian (94), and an Epicurean (104).
		In this way, Eumolpus becomes the embodiment of satire, a hodge-podge mixture of literary and philosophical paradigms employing itself both to ridicule itself and to present an alternative pedagogical model.
		Eumolpus as philosophical pedagogue would seem to present several successful interpretive models to his students, but his readings of situations and paintings are always disenfranchised by subjective contamination, ignorance, hypocrisy and phantasia (Elsner PCPhS 1993, 39).
