Eubouleus
In the Greek Mythology, Eubule (in Greek old Εὐϐουλεὑς / Eubouleús , literally the “good adviser”) is a figure of the Pantheon of the Mystères of Éleusis.
Myth
In the orphic tradition, Eubouleus is the son of Dysaules and the brother of Triptolème. With this last, he advises Déméter when she seeks her daughter Perséphone removed by Hadès.
In the tradition éleusinienne, Eubouleus is a pig-keeper absorbed by the ground at the same time as Perséphone when it is removed by Hadès. In its honor, the Athenians throw alive pigs in the “pits of Koré and Déméter” at the time of the festival of the Thesmophories. He plays a big role in the worship of Éleusis as a guide of Perséphone at the time of his return of the Enfers. An inscription on a relief found in the sanctuary of Hadès with Éleusis associates it with two divinities, Théos and Théa, thus forming a Triade.
“Eubouleus” is also a épiclèse several gods: Zeus, Hadès or Dionysos.
