EUBULIDES  , a native of

Miletus, Greek philosopher and successor of Eucleides as head of the Megarian school . Nothing is known of the events of his life . Indirect evidence shows that he was a contemporary of Aristotle, whom he attacked with great bitterness . There was also a tradition that Demosthenes was one of his pupils . His name has been preserved chiefly by some EUCALYPTUS 867 celebrated, though false and captious, syllogisms of which he was the reputed author . Though mainly examples of verbal quibbling, they serve to show the difficulties of language and of explaining the relations of sense-given impressions . Eubulides wrote a treatise on Diogenes the Cynic and also a number of comedies .
