Best Answer

Penelope gave Odysseus a glistening shirt, a purple wool, double-lined mantle, and a gold brooch to fasten the mantle. The gold brooch had two catches for the pin, and a dog strangling a struggling spotted fawn between its forepaws on the face of it. The shirt was soft and fitted Odysseus 'like the skin of an onion', while it glistened in sunlight.
