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.
