Penelope was the wife of Odysseus, the king of the Greek island-nation, Ithaca. He fought in the Trojan War and struggled home from what is now Turkey across the Mediterranean Sea to Ithaca.
Also, contrary to popular belief, Odysseus was not striving to see his wife, and The Odyssey is not a love story. Ancient Greeks viewed their wives as baby-makers and house-carers. Romance was made popular by the Romans. Odysseus simply wanted to go home and enjoy his estate.
