Bulos
Bulos ( ancient Greek Βοῦλος ) was an ancient Greek sculptor .
He is only known from an inscription found on the Cycladic island of Ios , which identifies him as a maker ( Βοῦλος ἐποίει ). The inscription is dated to the 2nd century.
There are also two other inscriptions that have been found to be forgeries by Count Pasch van Krienen. According to these false inscriptions, Bulos was involved in the restoration of the alleged tomb of Homer , which would have given it a prominent importance.
