Poliporthes

Poliporthes

In Greek mythology Poliporthes (also known as Ptoliporthes or Ptoliporthus) is the son born to Odysseus and Penelope after his return from the Trojan War. He was so named because his father sacked the city of Troy (cf., e.g., "Od".8.3). Alternatively, he was born to Telemachus and Nausicaa.
