Laertes was the son of Arcesius and Chalcomedusa and the father of Odysseus (who was thus called Laertiádēs, Λαερτιάδης, "son of Laertes") and Ctimene by his wife Anticlea, daughter of the thief Autolycus. Another account says that Laertes was not Odysseus's true father; rather, it was Sisyphus, who had seduced Anticlea.[2] Odysseus finally comes to see Laertes after he has killed all the suitors competing for Penelope. Athena infuses vigour into Laertes, so he can help Odysseus.
