"Eupolis, son of Sosipolis, an Athenian comic poet of the Old Comedy, ...."
Brill's New Pauly: "Eupolis, Apart from Aristophanes and Cratinus, the most important writer
of Attic Old Comedy, son of Sosipolis, E. is said to have already begun his performances at the age of 17 ......
varying times for his debut are stated....The epigraphical lists of the winners at the Dionysia and the Lenaea show
that he began his performances about the same time as Aristophanes (or shortly before him): in the former he is listed
directly after Aristophanes, in the latter directly before him .... The constant rivalry with Aristophanes ....ended
with the relatively early death of E. about which there were soon various versions...
E. is said to have written a total of 17 ... or 14 ....plays. 16 play titles are attested...." from
