Description
Eupolis (fl. 429-411 BC) was one of the best-attested and most important of Aristophanes' rivals. No complete play has survived, but more than 120 lines of his best-known comedy, Demoi (The Demes), are extant. This book provides a new translation of all the remaining fragments and an essay on each lost play, as well as discussions of Eupolis' career and the sort of comedy that this prizewinning poet created.

Reviews
"Ian Storey here presents everything that can be plausibly retrieved from the evidence for an important contemporary of Aristophanes and Euripides. The exhaustive research and lucid analysis are arranged in a reader-friendly manner that offers nothing less than an account of a life-long passion.... To help us interpret and contextualize the mass of information systematically presented by Kassell and Austin, studies such as Storey's Eupolis render an invaluable service. Given the impressive scholarly foundation that is now in place, it remains to wish Ian Storey all success in bringing out a companion volume on Cratinus!"--New England Classical Journal
