Cleobule
In Greek mythology, the name Cleobule or Cleoboule (Ancient Greek: Κλεοβούλη, Kleoboúlē) or Cleobula refers to:
- Cleobule, daughter of Aeolus or Aeopolus, one of the possible mothers of Myrtilus by Hermes.[1][2]
- Cleobule, wife of Cepheus and Amphidamas.[3]
- Cleobula, mother by Ares of Cycnus who was killed by Heracles.[4]
- Cleobule, mother of Amphimachus by Cteatus[5] instead of Theronice.
- Cleobule, mother of Leonteus by Coronus.[6]
- Cleobule, daughter of Eurytus and by Tenthredon,[7] possibly the mother of Prothous, leader of the Magnesians during the Trojan War.[8] Otherwise, Eurymache was called the mother of the Prothous.[9]
- Cleobule, mother of Phoenix by Amyntor.[10][11] Otherwise, Hippodameia or Alcimede was called the mother).[12] Cleobule had two other possible children by Amyntor, Asydameia[13] and Crantor.[14]
- Cleobule, the Boeotian mother of Leitus by Lacritus;[15] alternately, mother of Arcesilaus by Alector (Alectryon).[16] Otherwise, Leitus' mother was Polybule by Alector or he was an earth-born, thus a son of Gaea.[17] Meanwhile, Arcesilaus' parents were Areilycus and Theobule.[18]
- Cleobule, mother of the Hyginus.[19]Whether this is an otherwise unknown legend or simply the result of corruption of the text is uncertain.
