Odysseus was the son of Laertes and Anticlea, rulers of the island kingdom of Ithaca. His mother’s lineage connected him to the autochthonous peoples of the region, while his father’s line traced back to the legendary hero Arcesius. Growing up in Ithaca, he received training in warfare, navigation, and counsel, skills that would later define his exploits.
