InGreek mythology,Eupeithes/juˈpaɪˌθiːz/ (ΕὐπείθηςEupeíthēs) was the father ofAntinous, the leader of thesuitors ofPenelope. After his son's death at the hands ofOdysseus, Eupeithes tried to revolt against his rule. He was killed by Odysseus's father,Laertes. Evidently, he had forgotten the favor Odysseus had done for him years before when he committed a piratical raid onCephallenia. Odysseus protected him from vengeful Cephallenians who wanted to kill him.^[1] Yet he let his son lead the suitors in destroying Odysseus's home.^[2]

His name means "obedient".^[3]
