Odysseus is a legendary Greek hero known for his cunning and leadership during the Trojan War and his adventures on his journey back home. Penelope, on the other hand, is Odysseus's faithful wife who patiently waits for his return while fending off suitors in his absence. They both play significant roles in Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, but they have different characteristics and roles within the story.
