last conversations Calypso asks Odysseus why he wanted to leave her for Penelope. However, Odysseus knew telling her the truth would only make her upset.

He never saw his son Telemachus growing…

She hates the thought of it, but she neither denies nor dares to make an end to the matter” in fear of stirring up more trouble, digging their reputation’s grave, and angering the gods (Homer, pg. 16).

Cry…

unveiled the work every night so she would never be able to accomplish the task. Her tactic of encouraging the men but not fulfilling the promise shows that she still had the attachment to Odysseus and does not want to betray him. Homer’s depiction of Penelope portrays her as an ideal women and shows that she holds the same attributes as Odysseus. Aside from the characters, the book of Odyssey shows the significance of home. Throughout his journey back home, Odyssey’s comes across many women who…
