English summary: This is the first publication in a very long time dedicated to the fragments of the Kolakes of Eupolis, the play which won first prize in the City Dionysia in 421 BC, defeating Aristophanes’ Peace. The volume takes into account ancient references to the fragments, as well as recent debates in the study of Greek comedy. It starts with a general discussion of comedy, the individualization of the characters, and a reconstruction of the story narrated. Particular attention is paid to the placement of the play’s theme and characters within their historical, political, and social context. Each fragment is analyzed in detail from a variety of angles (text, language, meter, content). Italian text. Italian description: Dopo lormai vetusta dissertazione edita da Joachim Toppel nel 1846 nessuno si era piu preoccupato di dedicare un lavoro di commento ai resti dei Kolakes di Eupoli, vincitori nel 421 a. C. del medesimo agone comico dionisiaco al quale Aristofane prese parte con la Pace. Questo volume cerca di colmare la lacuna, tenendo conto, nei limiti del possibile, tanto del cumulo di erudizione piu antica cresciuto attorno ai frammenti e alle testimonianze relative alla commedia, quanto del dibattito piu recente. Lintroduzione e dedicata a una messa a punto delle coordinate generali della commedia, a partire dallindividuazione dei personaggi che vi dovevano agire in scena e da una ricostruzione il piu possibile circostanziata della vicenda. Particolare attenzione e rivolta alla collocazione dei temi e dei personaggi della commedia allinterno del quadro storico, politico e sociale che fece da sfondo alla sua rappresentazione. Il commento e organizzato secondo i canoni del commento perpetuo: ogni frammento e analizzato nel dettaglio da ogni possibile punto di vista (testo, lingua, metro, contenuto) in funzione dellesegesi complessiva della commedia.

"Napolitano has provided an excellent starting-point for further study of this prizewinning comedy. Each fragment is discussed in detail with careful presentation of the relevant scholarship, in places defending established views and in others advancing his own interpretations." Ian C. Storey, GNOMON 57 (2015), S. 12-15
