Great Grandfather of Comedy, Author of the First Sex Joke(s), Destroyer and Upholder of Traditions
: A comic playwright or comedy-writer of ancient Athens and a poet of Old Attic Comedy. Eleven of his forty plays survive virtually complete. These provide the most valuable examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are used to define it, along with fragments from dozens of lost plays by Aristophanes and his contemporaries. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

“EUELPIDES: Slave! slave!
PISTHETAERUS: What's that, friend! You say, "slave," to summon Epops! It would be much better to shout, "Epops, Epops!"
EUELPIDES: Well then, Epops! Must I knock again? Epops!”
