The father of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey (7)

I believe the answer is:

laertes

(Other definitions for laertes that I've seen before include "Ophelia's brother (Shak.)" , "... killer of prince" , "Hamlet's dispatcher" , "Brother of Ophelia (Hamlet)" , "character in Hamlet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
