Penelope is the wife of Odysseus, when Odysseus was away she was purseued by many suitors. She said she would only marry them when she had finished the tapestry she was making, she continued to work on the tapestry but unpicked her work each night. When Odysseus finally returned home her through out all the suitors.

Penelope is offered as the epitome of a faithful wife. She had every reason to believe Odysseus was dead, and no one would have faulted her for taking another husband. But she remained faithful to her husband nonetheless. This
