Penelope is a character from the Odyssey, one of the two great epic poems attributed to Homer.

Penelope is the wife of the main character, the king of Ithaca, Odysseus. She waits for twenty years for her husband's return from the Trojan War. For this reason it is considered a symbol of conjugal fidelity.

While Odysseus is absent, Penelope is pretended by several men, who settle in the palace and abusively consume their estate in banquets, while they wait for the queen to choose one of them. To maintain her chastity Penelope tells the suitors that she will accept a new husband when she finishes knitting a shroud for King Laertes, on whom he was working. To prolong this task as long as possible, Penelope undoes at night what she weaves during the day, however, a woman gives her away, so she is forced to conclude the work, when Odysseus returns, killing the suitors .
