According to [[Homer]]'s ''[[Iliad]]'' Altes was the father of [[Laothoe]], one of the many wives (or concubines) of King [[Priam]]. In other accounts, Altes is also said to be the father of the [[Argonaut]] [[Ancaeus]] of [[Samos Island|Samos]]; perhaps because this Ancaeus was also of Lelegian stock.
