Laertes

The father of Odysseus; the son of Arkeisios (Arceisios).

When Odysseus returned from the siege of Troy after a twenty year absence, Laertes was old and feeble but when Odysseus needed his father’s help to forcefully reclaim his home and property, Athene (Athena) gave Laertes new vigor and he became strong and fierce.
