Euboulos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Euboulos ("good counsellor") was the father of Carme, who mothered Britomartis by Zeus. He is the son of Dysaules.

Euboulos or Euboleus was a swineherd whose pigs were swallowed up by the cleft in the ground when Hades abducted Persephone and who was the first to notify Demeter. Compare the role of pigs in the Thesmophoria.
