In Greek mythology, the name Theobule (The name comes from Theos (θεός), means "God" or "divine" and Boule (βουλή), means "will," "counsel," "advice," or "deliberation".) refers to:

Theobule, mother of Myrtilus by Hermes.Brill's New Pauly, s.v. Myrtilus (1); Hyginus, Fabulae 224. Theobula, mother of Arcesilaus and Prothoenor by AreilycusHomer, Iliad 2.495; Hyginus, Fabulae 97 (ArchilycusDiodorus Siculus, 4.67.7). Their son was one of the Boeotian leaders in the Trojan War. In one account, Alector was the father of Arcesilaus by Cleobule and Prothoenor by Arteis.

This name was also thought to have given rise to Sibyl by Varro, a Roman man of letters. The historian Jerome similarly explained Theobule as the Attic form of the Doric (Siobolla), a variant of Sibulla (Sibyl in Greek)
