Odysseus was said to be a decedent of Hermes and Aeolus the ruler of the winds, but not much is known of his parentage, none the less though Hermes he would have Hades as a great-uncle.

Odysseus also possessed the skill of nekyia which was the raising of ghosts to be questioned about the future, in this way he communicated with the dead.
