The companion of Odysseus on his voyage home to the island of Ithaka (Ithaca).
Elpenor fell from the roof of Kirke’s (Circe’s) palace and was never given a proper burial; when Odysseus went to the entrance of the Underworld to seek the advice of the seer, Teiresias, he encountered Elpenor’s “shade” and was moved to promise “the barrow and the burial” for his fallen companion.
