Arcesius
In Greek mythology, Arcesius, or Arkêsios, also spelled Arceisius, was the son of Cephalus, and king in Ithaca. He was father of Laertes, and thus grandfather of Odysseus. Arcesius' wife, and thus mother of Laertes, was Chalcomedusa, whose origins are not mentioned further, but whose very name, chalcos, "copper" + medousa "guardian, protectress", identifies her as the protector of Bronze Age metal-working technology.
