Eubuleus

• one of the Anaces or Dioscuri, Cic. N. D. 3, 21, 53.

(Εὐβουλεύς).

1. According to an Argive tradition, a son of Trochilus by an Eleusinian woman, and brother of Triptolemus; whereas, according to the Orphici, Eubuleus and Triptolemus were sons of Dysaules. (Paus. 1.14.2.)

2. One of the Tritopatores at Athens. (Cic. de Nat. Deor. 3.21.)

Eubuleus occurs also as a surname of several divinities, and describes them as gods of good counsel, such as Hades and Dionysus. (Schol. ad Nicand. Alex. 14; Orph. Hymn. 71. 3; Macr. 1.18; Plut. Sympos. 7.9.) [L.S]

a sculptor, whose name is inscribed on a headless Hermes. The inscription ΕΥΒΟΥΛΕΥΕ ΠΠΑΞΙΤΕΛΟΥΕ (sic in Winckelmann) makes him a son of Praxiteles; and, according to Meyer, there is no doubt that the great sculptor of that name is meant. The statue still exists, but in private hands. (Winckelmann, Geschichte d. Kunst, 9.3.20; Visconti, Mus. Pio-Clem. vi. tab. 22, p. 142.) [P.S]

• brother of Triptolemus: Paus. 1.14.2ff.
