Ctesius

In Greek mythology, Ctesius (Ancient Greek: Κτήσιος means 'belonging to property, acquisition') may refer to two distinct characters:

Ctesius, king of the island called Syria and son of Ormenus. He was the father of Eumaeus.[1]
Ctesius, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers.[2] He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[3]
