Eubulus

Born about 405 B.C.; died 330 B.C. Athenian orator and statesman.

Eubulus, a contemporary and political opponent of Demosthenes, supported the alliance between Athens and Macedonia. Elected to the post of government treasurer, in 354 B.C. he promulgated a law increasing the theoric fund, that is, entertainment money to be distributed to the citizens on days of festivals and spectacles; this law was in effect until 339 B.C. At the same time he decreased military expenditures. In 346 B.C., Eubulus supported the Peace of Philoc-rates with the Macedonian ruler Phillip II, an agreement that was extremely disadvantageous to Athens.
