In Greek legend, the father of Odysseus (7)

I believe the answer is:

laertes

(Other definitions for laertes that I've seen before include "Greek king" , "Hamlet's dispatcher" , "killer in drama" , "Man advised not to borrow" , "Ophelia's brother (Hamlet)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
