  Eupolis was one of the most important of Aristophanes' rivals. He wrote the same sort of vigorous, topical, and often indecent comedy that we know from the surviving plays of Aristophanes. No complete play has survived. This book provides a translation of the remaining fragments and an essay on each lost play, with discussions of Eupolis' career.
