In the surviving classical summaries and mythographic traditions Polybule appears as a Boeotian woman named in one tradition as the mother of the Argonaut Leitus by Alector. This attribution is one of several competing genealogies preserved in sources: other accounts name Lacritus and Cleobule as Leitus's parents or describe Leitus as earth-born (a son of Gaea). Polybule's role in these accounts is genealogical and regional, linking Leitus to a Boeotian lineage.
