3 Others

Laertes lived in Ithaca, which is located in the Ionian Sea.

The long-distance marriage between Laertes and Anticleia, who lived near Mount Parnassus, was established by blood ties.

Laertes was the grandson of Cephalus, the son of Pandion, the eighth king of Athens, and Anticleia was the granddaughter of Philonis, daughter of Pandion.

In other words, Anticleia was Laertes' second cousin.
