Euangelus the Comic, Wedding Feast

Euangelus is a comic poet after the fourth century BCE (Canon: EUANGELUS Comic., p. 4 B.C.). The Wedding Feast is a two-speaker kitchen scene: four tables for the women, six for the men, a dinner lacking nothing, a wish for a splendid wedding. One speaker, an eyewitness, lists olives of every kind, then veal, porkers, piglets, hares; the other calls him a cursed braggart. The menu runs on: fig-leaves, cheese, cakes, kandyos, eggs, starch-pudding. The table is three cubits high, so the diner has to lift himself if he wants to take anything.

New Comedy of a wedding dinner and a towering table, not an unattested name.
