Proboulos

Proboulos (πρόβουλος, plural probouloi, πρόβουλοι) was the denomination of one of the magistrates of Ancient Greece. Sometimes it is castellaniza like "próbulo".

It was supposed to be a charge created during the Peloponnesian War to confront the plight of Athens; and that they would be chosen to play it to well-respected old men.

Among the most notable probouloi were the author of tragedies Sophocles and the strategos Hagnón.

In the comedy Lisistrata, a proboulos holds a long debate with the protagonist.
