Penelope
Penelope reprimands him for treating the stranger to the castle roughly. At this time she does not know that the stranger is Odysseus, her husband.
Penelope's husband was Odysseus. She was the daughter of Icarius and Periboea. Her son was Telemachus.
Odysseus convinces Penelope that he is her husband by revealing the secret detail of their bed, that he alone knows. This detail is that their bed was constructed by Odysseus himself and cannot be moved as one of its legs is made from a living olive tree. This intimate knowledge proves to Penelope that it is indeed her husband Odysseus returned to her.
Penelope feels a mix of longing, sadness, and hope when she remembers her husband in "The Odyssey." She is yearning for his return, saddened by his absence, and hopeful that he will eventually come back to her.
True. In the epic poem "The Odyssey," Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, tells Penelope that her husband is alive and well, but has not returned home yet. Penelope is skeptical at first but eventually believes him.
