		To these scholars, identified by Nesselrath as "Peripatetic" as opposed to Alexandrian, Eupolis was the defining poet of Old Comedy, and his death signaled the end of this comedic form.

		Here she advances, along with the generically named Satyra (female satyr), in what seems to be a civic festival procession (Philia holds a barbiton, while Satyra holds libation vessels), led by a torch-bearing satyr boy named Eupolis.
		Eupolis’ name is best translated adjectivally, “abounding in cities,” and at least conjures the mood of civic pride.
		As neither of her companions are true personifications, this Philia may have been given this euphemistic name merely to emphasize the civic nature of processions, and probably was not intended as a personification of civic friendship.

	EMORY CLASSICS: Publications\| Niall W. Slater
		The comic poet Sannyrion and the tragedian Meletos seem to appear together in Aristophanes Gerytades (fr.149K., 150K.); one wonders if Aristophanes is deliberately yoking two well-known enemies, since Sannyrion fr.2K calls Meletos 'the corpse from the Lenaion', which, whether personal or professional comment, can hardly have been complimentary.
		There are some comments of more critical substance, such as the well-known passage in Cratinus (fr.307K.) suggesting that Aristophanes imitates Euripides, and Eupolis fr.54K., which ridicules Aristophanes' use of the colossal statue of the goddess in his Peace.
		One difference is immediately apparent as we move into the world of Middle and New Comedy: there is no identifiable reference in any of the fragments to any comic play or playwright, past or contemporary.

		The chorus of flatterers, in an extant fragment, claims that nothing and no one would prevent them from getting their dinner, a similar notion to those found in Plautine parasite monologues.

		Eupolis’ Poleis, whose limited knowledge relies on only forty-one fragments, have attracted the interest of the critics mainly for featuring an individualised chorus.
		During the parodos the chorus of Cities entered the scene parading lavish costumes, which probably illustrated the peculiar characteristics of each city, and composed an imaginary cartography of Greece on stage.
		Despite the meagre remains of the Poleis it will clearly emerge that the chorus played a central role in the development of the action.

		Of these the best known were: the Kolakes, in which he pilloried the spendthrift Callias, who wasted his substance on sophists and parasites; Maricas, an attack on Hyperbolus, the successor of Cleon, under a fictitious name; the Baptae, against Alcibiades and his clubs, at which profligate foreign rites were practised.

		Archaeological excavations in the grounds of the parliament building have revealed an inscripted Herma column complete with a bust of Eupolis, the Athenian comic poet whose satirical plays were greatly admired by the ancients.
		A similar pillar with a bust of the prominent stoic philosopher Chrysipposwas was found in the same vicinity in April last year.
		The Eupolis find is considered to be of particular importance, since it provides the first image of the poet, a contemporary of Aristophanes, with whom he seems to have collaborated but also attacked.

	Goatsong - Tom Holt - Review - Tom Holt once herded Goats you heard it here first!
		The story is narrated by Eupolis of Pallene, comic playwright in Athens at the time of Aristophenes, Pericles, Euripedes etc. He is a waspish old man, full of snide remarks about the great men of the time, the Athenians in general, democracy, Thucidides, and anything else that comes to mind.
		Behind the jokes, there's a strong message here, that deals with the absurdity of the Peloponnesian War while giving a powerful insight into the human condition, For me this book is yet another that reafirms that Tom Holt is a genius of a writer.
		Also, something I thought of as I was writing this review is It's difficult to read this and "The Walled Orchard" and not have a sneaking suspicion that there really was a Eupolis of Pallene, and that Holt is indeed his reincarnation.
