The fandom hears “Odysseus is Hermes’ great-grandson” and now they think it’s his whole personality, like it’s something important. Now if Odysseus were Hermes’ son, I would understand it. But the relationship between Odysseus and Hermes is so distant that you might as well call them strangers to each other. And get this: Odysseus is also Zeus’ great-grandson. Because he is the son of Laertes, the son of Arcisius, the son of Zeus. And actually, in the Odyssey, that’s more important: as Odysseus is constantly referred to as “Zeus’ child” because of this, because Zeus started the Ithacan royal line. Arcisius was the first king of Ithaca, and he declared that Arcisius and his sons would each have only one son to be the next king of Ithaca.
So is Odysseus more related to Hermes… or to Zeus?
