Penelope's Letter to Homer

In the Odyssey, Penelope is portrayed merely as a queen, wife, mother, and daughter-in-law. In this text, she voices her grievances, accusing Homer of relegating her to these roles and rejecting her portrayal as the epitome of fidelity. Resolute in breaking her silence, she asserts her perspective. This book delves into the role of women at the dawn of civilization, challenging long-held narratives.
