In Greek mythology, Alcinous (/ælˈsɪnoʊəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλκίνους or Ἀλκίνοος Alkínoös means "mighty mind") was a son of Nausithous and brother of Rhexenor.[1] After the latter's death,[2] he married his brother's daughter Arete who bore him Nausicaa, Halius, Clytoneus and Laodamas.[3] In some accounts, Alcinous' father was Phaeax, son of Poseidon and Corcyra, and brother of Locrus.[4]
