In Greek mythology, [[Laertes]] (/leɪˈɜːrtiːz/; Ancient Greek: [[Λαέρτης]] Laértēs Greek pronunciation: [laː.ér.tɛːs]; also spelled [[Laërtes]]) was the king of the [[Cephallenian]]s, an ethnic group who lived both on the Ionian islands and on the mainland, which he presumably inherited from his father Arcesius and grandfather [[Cephalus]]. His realm included Ithaca and surrounding islands, and perhaps even the neighboring part of the mainland of other Greek city-states. Laertes was also an Argonaut, and a participant in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar.
