Kleobule, (in Ancient Greek: Κλεόβουλη), born between 408 and 400 BC, was a notable figure in classical Athens.
[1] She was attacked by Aeschines, who accused her of not being Athenian but a Scythian or a Thracian, although these claims do not appear to be necessarily true.
[1][2] Her father Gylon was an Athenian citizen nonetheless,[3] who was branded a "traitor" for his actions during the Peloponnesian War.
[5][6][7] However, he neither married Kleobule nor took care of the children, and he squandered all the money left by Demosthenes the Elder for his son; 14 talents supposedly turned into just one.
[5][6] Aphobus eventually left the family home; he was sued by Demosthenes, who succeeded in taking him to court and recovering 10 talents.
