Eubouleus was a minor deity of the underworld, popular in Eleusis. From literary sources Praxiteles is known to have made a sculpture of Eubouleus. For many years this piece was believed to be the original. It is now thought more likely to be a Roman copy from the second century BCE, as it shows little difference from a number of other Roman copies, and the inscription found with it, identifying the head as Eubouleus, is Roman
