Eubulus (statesman)
Eubulus ( grc-gre, Εὔβουλος, ''Euboulos''; c. 405 – c.335 BC) was a statesman of ancient Athens, who was very influential in Athenian politics during the period 355 BC to 342 BC and was notable for his abilities in managing Athenian finances. Eubulus' early life is unknown, other than that he was from the Anaphlystus deme. With the Athenian politician, Diophantus of Sphettus, as his patron, he became chief commissioner of the important Theoric Fund, which provided free seats at public spectacles.''Greek Historical Inscriptions, 404–323 BC'' by P. J. Rhodes and Robin Osborne, Oxford University Press, 2007, p. 157. He used this position to gradually take control of the finances of Athens and is credited with bringing a degree of prosperity not seen in many years. As an example of his approach, he introduced a law making it difficult to use public money for minor military operations, which ensured that a surplus was available for public works. Eubulus was generally co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eubulus (poet)
Eubulus ( grc-gre, Εὔβουλος, ''Euboulos'') was an Athenian Middle Comedy poet, victorious six times at the Lenaia, first probably in the late 370s or 360s BC (''IG'' II2 2325.144; just before Ephippus) According to the ''Suda'' (test. 1), which dates him to the 101st Olympiad (i.e. 376/2) and identifies him as "on the border between the Middle and the Old Comedy", he produced 104 comedies and won six victories at the Lenaia. An obscure notice in a ''scholium'' on Plato (test. 4) appears to suggest that some of his plays were staged by Aristophanes’ son Philippus. He attacked Philocrates, Callimedon, Cydias, and Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse. Eubulus's plays were chiefly about mythological subjects and often parodied the tragic playwrights, especially Euripides. Surviving titles and fragments 150 fragments (including three ''dubia'') of his comedies survive, along with fifty-eight titles: *''Ancylion'' *''Anchises'' *''Amaltheia'' *''Anasozomenoi'' ("Men Who Were ...

The Coronation (play)
''The Coronation'' is a Caroline era stage play, a tragicomedy written by James Shirley, and notable for the tug-of-war of authorship claims in which it was involved in the middle seventeenth century. Background The play was licensed by the Master of the Revels on 6 February 1635, and was probably written in the previous year or so. In May 1636, however, the London theatres shut down for one of their longest and most severe closures due to bubonic plague. Shirley left for his four years in Dublin (1636–40), and in the next year or so the playing company for which he had been serving as house dramatist, Queen Henrietta's Men, sold off their stock of Shirley's plays to the London booksellers. The result was that a group of Shirley's plays appeared in print in the late 1630s. Most of these were published under Shirley's name; only one, ''The Coronation,'' was misattributed to another dramatist. The first edition of ''The Coronation'' was issued in 1640 in a quarto printed by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eubulus (banker)
Eubulus ( el, Εὔβουλος ''Euboulos''; fl. 4th-century BCE) was a banker from Bithynia, a region on the south shore of the Black Sea. He once lent money to a Persian official, taking the lands of Assos and Atarneus in Aiolis (Aeolis) in Asia Minor as security, and thus became ruler of the two realms. He is most famous for his connection to his slave Hermias, who inherited the position of ruler of the city. It was Hermias who invited Xenocrates and Aristotle to his court, and later became Aristotle's father-in-law. References *Diogenes Laërtius, ''Life of Aristotle''. ''Translated bC.D.

Eubulus Le Strange, 1st Baron Strange

He married Alice de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln (1281–1348) as her second husband in 1324, 1916 and has been incongruously considered as her lover during her unhappy and childless first marriage (1294–1322, divorced 1318 after an abduction 1317) to her royal first husband, (executed 1322).

Gorboduc (play)
''The Tragedie of Gorboduc'', also titled ''Ferrex and Porrex'', is an English play from 1561. It was first performed at the Christmas celebration given by the Inner Temple in 1561, and performed at Whitehall before Queen Elizabeth I on 18 January 1561, by the Gentlemen of the Inner Temple. The authors were Thomas Norton and Thomas Sackville, said to be responsible for the first three Acts, and the final two, respectively. The first quarto, published by the bookseller William Griffith, was published 22 September 1565. A second authorized quarto corrected by the authors followed in 1570, and was printed by John Day with the title ''The Tragedie of Ferrex and Porrex''. A third edition was published in 1590 by Edward Allde. The play is notable for several reasons: as the first verse drama in English to employ blank verse; for its political subject matter (the realm of Gorboduc is disputed by his sons Ferrex and Porrex), which was still a touchy area in the early years of Eli ...

Marriage à La Mode (play)
''Marriage à la Mode'' is a Restoration comedy by John Dryden, first performed in London in 1673 by the King's Company. It is written in a combination of prose, blank verse and heroic couplets. It has often been praised as Dryden's best comedic endeavour, and James Sutherland accounts for this by observing that "the comic scenes are beautifully written, and Dryden has taken care to connect them with the serious plot by a number of effective links. He writes with ... one of the most thoughtful treatments of sex and marriage that Restoration comedy can show." The play contains two songs, "Why Should a Foolish Marriage Vow" by Robert Smith and "Whilst Alexis Lay Pressed" by Nicholas Staggins, both set to Dryden's lyrics and printed in the 1673 book ''Choice Songs and Ayres for One Voyce to Sing to the Theorbo-Lute or Bass-Viol''. Characters * Polydamas, Usurper of Sicily. * Leonidas, the rightful Prince, unknown. * Argaleon, favourite to Polydamas. * Hermogenes, foster-fathe ...

Saint Eubulus
In religious belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God. However, the use of the term ''saint'' depends on the context and denomination. In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and consequently a public cult of veneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church after their approval. While the English word ''saint'' originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special holiness that many religions attribute to certain people", referring to the Jewish tzadik, the Islamic walī, the Hindu rishi o ...

Second Epistle To Timothy
The Second Epistle to Timothy is one of the three pastoral epistles traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle.. Addressed to Timothy, a fellow missionary, it is traditionally considered to be the last epistle he wrote before his death. Although the pastorals are written under Paul's name, they are different from his other epistles, and since the early 19th century, scholars have increasingly seen them as the work of an unknown student of Paul's doctrine.. They do not address Paul's common themes, such as the believers' unity with Christ, and they reflect a church hierarchy that is more organized and defined than the church was in Paul's time. Nonetheless, a number of major scholars have defended the traditional authorship of 2 Timothy. Authorship Some modern critical scholars argue that 2 Timothy, as well as the other two so-called 'pastoral letters' (1 Timothy and Titus), were not written by Paul but by an anonymous author, sometime between 90 and 140 AD.
