Theobule
In Greek mythology, the name Theobule (Ancient Greek: Θεοβούλη from θεός + βούλλα[1] ‘divine will’ or ‘divine counsel’) refers to:
- Theobule, mother of Myrtilus by Hermes.[2]
- Theobule, mother of Arcesilaus and Prothoenor by Areilycus.[3]
This name was also thought to have given rise to Sibyl by Varro, a Roman man of letters.[1] The historian Jerome similarly explained Theobule as the Attic form of the Doric Σιοβόλλα (Siobolla), a variant of Sibulla (Sibyl in Greek)[4]
