Penelope said, "O cruel Odysseus, what timidity has taken possession of you now?"
Penelope says that the gods gave her and Odysseus the difficulty of being separated for many years due to the Trojan War and Odysseus' long journey back home. This separation tested their faithfulness and endurance in the face of numerous challenges and temptations.
Penelope's love for Odysseus is unwavering and steadfast. Despite his long absence, she remains faithful and devoted to him, demonstrating patience, loyalty, and enduring love throughout his prolonged journey back home. Her steadfast commitment and enduring love for Odysseus are key themes in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey."
Odysseus had been many years - some say as many as ten, or more - away from Penelope - their son had grown up, but his life had aged him, as well that he went in disguise.

Teiresias says Odysseus will take his revenge on these suitors and eventually kill them all either by through force or fraud.
That Penelope will be courting with ignorant foolish men eating his food
In Ancient Greek mythology, specifically in Homer's "Odyssey," Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, is pressured by the suitors who seek her hand in marriage during Odysseus's long absence. However, she remains loyal to Odysseus and cleverly delays her decision by claiming she will choose a suitor once she finishes weaving a tapestry. Ultimately, Penelope's unwavering loyalty highlights her commitment to Odysseus rather than a desire to marry any of the suitors.
Odysseus disguised as the beggar tells Penelope that Odysseus was with the Thesprotians gathering treasure, but that he has gone to Dodona to determine's Zeus' high mind. Odysseus says that Odysseus has lost all his crew on the Thrinacian island, but has himself survived and will be coming back to Ithaca soon.
Penelope informed her suitors that she was going to weave the death shroud for Odysseus' father and won't choose a new husband until she is finished. Every night she would undo the weaving that she had done on the previous day. Eventually a disloyal servant ratted her out and the suitors made her finish the shroud. Needless to say, Odysseus returned in the nick of time.
In Homer's "Odyssey," when Calypso tells Odysseus that she is more beautiful than his wife, Penelope, Odysseus acknowledges her beauty but emphasizes his deep longing for home and his commitment to Penelope. He appreciates Calypso's allure but insists that no one can compare to the love and loyalty he feels for his wife. This highlights his desire for fidelity and the importance of his journey back to Ithaca.
