"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, Introduction: 'Everyone knows Eupolis' Translation of the fragments of Eupolis 1. Eupolis in Antiquity 2. Eupolis' dates and career 3. The comedies of Eupolis 4. The 'war' between the poets 5. Eupolis and comedy, I would confidently hazard that this is going to be one of the most influential recent books on Old Comedy, and that it will have a profound effect on the study of Aristophanes and the genre over the next 25 years. What is more, the book is extremely accessible and well-crafted, and it can be thoroughly enjoyed and fully utilised even by those without an addiction to Attic Old Comedy fragments., Storey charitably makes his book accessible to all by giving the fragments in translation near the start, and translating all Greek and Latin quotations in the text ... Storey has done a very good job with the scanty remains of Eupolis, who is now visible in a much clearer light than before. The work will stand for a long time., A monograph that presents a detailed and wide-ranging look at all aspects of the poet's oeuvre ... I welcome his book unreservedly ... Storey has produced a major book which needs to be in every University collection., "Ian Storey here presents everything that can be plausibly retrieved from the evidence for an important contemporary of Aristophanes and Euripides.

Synopsis
Eupolis (fl. 429-411 BC) was one of the best-attested and most important of Aristophanes' rivals. No complete work by this lost master has survived, but of his fourteen plays we have 500 fragments. These include 120 lines of his best-known comedy, Demoi (The Demes), which were discovered and published in 1911. Even in fragmentary form, Eupolis' plays shed interesting light on the whole range of issues - political, poetic, and dramatic - that make Aristophanes so perennially fascinating. There has, however, been no substantial survey in English until now. As well as providing a new translation of all the remaining fragments and a separate essay on each lost play, Ian C. Storey discusses Eupolis' career, redates the plays, examines how Eupolis was known in the ancient world, explores his relationship with Aristophanes (as both rival and collaborator), and delineates the distinct nature of the comedy that this prizewinning poet created., 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.

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, aswell as discussions of Eupolis' career and the sort of comedy that this prizewinning poet created.
