The mother of Odysseus.
Antikleia died while Odysseus was fighting at the siege of the city of Troy but on his way home, Odysseus saw Antikleia as a “shade” when he evoked the spirits of the Underworld with promises of sacrifices and by pouring a mixture of honey mixed with milk, wine, water, white barley and blood into a pit; the spirits emerged from the land of the dead and the shade of his mother stood before him.
After Antikleia had drunk the bloody mixture in the pit, she conversed with her son and told the sad story of how her misery and loneliness at his absence had finally killed her.
