Eubulus , or Euboulos c.405 BC &ndash c.335 BC was a Politician 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 Theoric Fund, which provided free seats at public spectacles ref Greek Historical Inscriptions, 404 323 BC by P. J. Rhodes and Robin Osborne, Oxford University Press, 2007, pg 157 ref . 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 considered a member of the peace party , in opposition to Demosthenes . Eubulus attempted to stop Philip II of Macedon Philip of Macedon intervening in Greek affairs by forming a Common Peace , with the support of Meidias , Aeschines , and Phocion . The results of his policy included an expedition to Thermopylae in 352 BC and an intervention in Euboea in 348 BC. Nevertheless, after his efforts failed to unite the Greeks, he went along with the peace of 346 BC negotiated by Demosthenes and Philocrates. When Demosthenes wanted to renew the war after Philip went into Phocis , Eubulus and his supporters argued for peace. But from 344 BC on, Eubulus influence was waning, and by 342 BC, Demosthenes party was in control. After the Battle of Chaeronea 338 BC Battle of Chaeronea no more is heard of Eubulus.

Plutarch in Greek language Greek lived 4th century BC was a tyrant of Eretria in Euboea . Whether he was the immediate successor of Themison of Eretria Themison , and also whether he was in any way connected with him by blood, are points which we have no means of ascertaining. Trusting perhaps to the influence of his friend Meidias , he applied to the Athens Athenians in 354 BC for aid against his rival, Callias of Chalcis , who had allied himself with Philip II of Macedon Philip of Macedon . The application was granted in spite of the resistance of Demosthenes , and the command of the expedition was entrusted to Phocion , who defeated Callias at Tamynae in 350 BC . But the conduct of Plutarch in the battle had placed the Athenians in great jeopardy, and though it may have been nothing more than rashness, Phocion would seem to have regarded it as treachery, for he thenceforth treated Plutarch as an enemy and expelled him from Eretria. r dem1 dem2 3 dem3 aesc plut 12 13 paus 1.36 References William Smith lexicographer Smith, William editor Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology , http www.ancientlibrary.com smith bio 2761.html Plutarchus , Boston , 1867 Notes reflist refs ref name dem1 dem2 3 dem3 aesc plut 12 13 paus 1.36 Demosthenes, Speeches , On the Peace , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 5 5 5 , Philippic 3 , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 9 57 57 , Against Meidias , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 21 110 110 , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 21 200 200 Aeschines , Speeches , Against Ctesiphon , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Aeschin. 3 86 86 Plutarch , Parallel Lives , Phocion , http www.attalus.org old phocion1.html 12 12 , http www.attalus.org old phocion1.html 13 13 Pausanias geographer Pausanias , Description of Greece , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Paus. 1.36.1 i. 36 ref SmithDGRBM DEFAULTSORT Plutarch Of Eretri ... more details

In literature , the tritagonist is the third most important character of a narrative, after the protagonist and deuteragonist . In Ancient Greek drama , the tritagonist was the third member of the acting troupe. As a character, a tritagonist may act as the instigator or cause of the sufferings of the protagonist.

Where two actors only allowed for a principal character and his adversary, moving the part of adversary to a third actor the tritagonist allowed for the second actor the deuteragonist to play roles as a confidant or aide to the principal character, and thereby elicit greater character depth from the principal character by having the protagonist explain their feelings and motivations to an on stage listener. ref name muller rp 451 As Ancient Greek theatre recitations were partly melodic, the role of the tritagonist would typically go to a performer with a voice in the bass voice type bass range as compared to the protagonist as tenor and the deuteragonist as baritone . ref name mantzius A History of Theatrical Art , Mantzius 1903 . ref rp 172 Cicero , in his Divinatio in Caecilium , reported that the tritagonist being a role of lesser importance than the protagonist would often have to subdue his voice if he was naturally stronger than the protagonist. ref Divinatio in Caecilium , Cicero , s. 45. ref Notable Ancient Greek actors who worked in this role include the orator Aeschines , who was held by Demosthenes to have been untalented as a tritagonist, ref name mantzius rp 175 and Myniscus, who was tritagonist under the playwright Aeschylus . ... more details

Somewhat late in life he took orders and became rector of Lawford in Essex and in 1751, List of Archdeacons of Buckingham Archdeacon of Buckingham in 1753, Canon priest canon of St Paul s in 1757. He died in London on 4 April 1766. Taylor is best known for his editions of some of the Greek orators, chiefly valuable for the notes on Attica Attic law, e.g. Lysias 1739 Demosthenes Contra Leptinem 1741 and Contra Midiam 1743, with Lycurgus of Athens Lycurgus Contra Leocratem , intended as specimens of a proposed edition, in five volumes, of the orations of Demosthenes , Aeschines , Dinarchus and Demades , of which only vols. ii. and iii. were published. Taylor also published under the title of Marmor Sandvicense a commentary on the inscription on an ancient marble brought from Greece by Lord Sandwich, containing particulars of the receipts and expenditure of the Athenian magistrates appointed to celebrate the festival of Apollo at Delos in 374 BC. His Elements of Civil Law 1755 also deserves notice. It was severely attacked by William Warburton Warburton in his Divine Legation of Moses , professedly owing to a difference of opinion in regard to the persecution of the early Christians, in reality because Taylor had spoken disparagingly of his scholarship.
