So um... Autolycus?
Son of Hermes, father of Anticlea, and grandfather of Odysseus. This guy.
He's more interesting than you might think.
He inherited a lot from his father, and had a gift that his thefts couldn't be discovered. And he was k i n g of thieves
He stole cattle from Sisyphus himself.
He taught Heracles the art of wrestling.
He had absolutely no talent when it came to naming children. Did you know that Odysseus' mother's name literally means "without fame"? Never mind that Odysseus' name means "he who causes pain or anger", Autolycus chill out dude.
Besides being father of Anticlea (according to Homer) and supposedly also father of Polymede (according to Apollodorus) who was the mother of Jason. THAT Jason, who is Odysseus' cousin as it turns out. He also had a few sons but we know Aesimus by name, this is father of Sinon (according to Aeneid), man who was supposed to tell the Trojans that Greeks had retreated and this big wooden horse was their apology gift. Btw, the name Sinon means "to hurt" so we're still keeping with the style. Interesting facts by Firinnie, thank u
