- This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Laértēs (Λαέρτης),” composed of two elements: “lāós (λᾱός)” (people, people assembled) plus “eírō (εἴρω)” (tie, join, fasten, string together). In turn, the name means “one who gathers the people.” Laertes was the son of Arcesius and Chalcomedusa. He was the father of Odysseus and Ctimene by his wife Anticlea, daughter of the thief Autolycus. Laertes was an Argonaut and participated in the hunt for the Calydonian boar. Laertes’s title was king of the Cephallenians, which he presumably inherited from his father, Crcesius, and grandfather Cephalus.
