An Athenian archon; in his year [437/6] the decree restricting comedy, enacted in Morychides' year [440/39], was repealed.[1]
Greek Original:Εὐθυμένης: ὄνομα κύριον. ἄρχων Ἀθηναῖος: ἐφ' οὗ κατελύθη τὸ ψήφισμα τὸ περὶ τοῦ μὴ κωμῳδεῖν, γραφὲν ἐπὶ Μορυχίδου.
Note:
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 67. "One would like to know much more about the terms and effects of this measure, and not least who was supposed to be protected by it" (E.W.Handley in
Cambridge History of Classical Literature: Greek Drama, p.123). Cf. ps-
Xenophon, Ath.Pol. (the "Old Oligarch") 2.18: "they do not allow comic attacks and abuse directed against the People;" but this sounds more general.
