Penelope was the wife of the hero Odysseus, ruler of the small island of Ithaca. She remained faithful to her husband for twenty years while awaiting his return from the Trojan War, holding off many suitors with her cunning.
Argument The Bending of Ulysses’ Bow Penelope, to put an end to the solicitation of the suitors, proposes to marry the person who shall first bend the bow of Ulysses, and shoot through the ringlets. After their attempts have proved ineffectual, Ulysses, taking Eumaeus and Philaetius apart, discovers himself to them; then returning, desires leave to try his strength at the bow, which, though ...

While fix’d in thought the pensive hero sate, A mendicant approach’d the royal gate; A surly vagrant of the giant kind, The stain of manhood, of a coward mind: From feast to feast, insatiate to devour, He flew, attendant on the genial hour.

Penelope is apprised of this; but comforted in a dream by Pallas, in the shape of her sister Iphthima. And now proud Sparta with their wheels resounds, Sparta whose walls a range of hills surrounds; At the fair dome the rapid labour ends; Where sate Atrides ‘midst his bridal friends, With double vows invoking Hymen’s power,
