Anticlea was the mother of Odysseus; her father was Autolycus, and his father was Hermes. Hermes is the brother of Hephaestus by their father Zeus.
While Odysseus is with the Phaeacians a poet comes to perform three songs. One of the songs is about Hephaestus and his wife Aphrodite. Aphrodite and Ares fall in love though and Hephaestus catches them together. This song is juxtaposed with the story of Odysseus and his wife Penelope. Though Odysseus is away, she remains faithful to him.
