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.
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.
