Penelope: Definition and Much More From Answers.com (1009 words)
Penelope remained true to her husband for the ten years he spent fighting in the Trojan War and for the ten years it took him to return from Troy, even though she was harassed by men who wanted to marry her.
Penelope is the wife of the main character, the king of Ithaca Odysseus (also known as Ulysses in Roman mythology) and daughter of Icarius and his wife Periboea.
Penelope, however, cannot believe her husband has really returned (she fears that perhaps it is some god in disguise as Odysseus, as in the story of Alcmene), and tests him by ordering her servant Euryclea to move the bed in their wedding-chamber.
