Famed for her legendary fidelity to her husband, Penelope, in the context of archetypal notions, represents the ideal of feminine behavior in the Homeric era. But the theme of Penelope is far more complex than what Western historical and cultural constructions of the patriarchal order have assigned to it. Perhaps her personal history was considered non-existent for too long because it seemed inconvenient and did not fit into the framework of a pathetic context. The author of this book attempts to answer the question: did Penelope, as a woman, have her own history? How accurate is the dichotomy between her unwavering, peaceful expectation and the frenetic vicissitudes of Odysseus? When placing an order, please note that shipping is charged by weight.
