About 48. Odysseus was one of the suitors of Helen in about 1201 BC. He was allowed to marry Penelope at that time as a result of his assistance in providing a husband for Helen in a safe way.

The Trojan war did not start until about 1186 BC. So Penelope was about 28 at the start of the Trojan War. The war lasted ten years and Odysseus did not return for ten years after that.
