Ithacus
In Greek mythology, Ithacus (Ancient Greek: Ἴθακος) may refer to two different characters:
- Ithacus, together with Neritus and Polyctor, made a basin of stone in Ithaca into which a spring ran.[1]
- Ithacus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Same along with other 22 wooers.[2] He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the assistance of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[3]
