Polybule
In Greek mythology, Polybule (Ancient Greek: Πολυβούλη,, romanized: Polyboulē, lit. 'abundant counsel', 'rich in advice' or 'of many counsels'[1]) was the Boeotian mother of the Argonaut Leitus by Alector.[2][3] Alternatively, Leitus parents were identified to be Lacritus and Cleobule[4] or an earth-born, thus a son of Gaea.[5]
Notes
[edit]- ↑ The name comes from Poly- (from polys, πολύς) meaning "many," "much," or "abundant" and -bule (from boulē, βουλή) meaning "counsel," "advice," "will," or "deliberation".
