Penelope: Homeric Fantasy or an Example of Greek Womanhood(USE AS GUIDE ONLY)
1 of 12 Penelope: Homeric Fantasy or an Example of Greek Womanhood Homer’s Penelope has been the subject of debate in literary circles for many centuries. She has often been thought of as everything from the jilted spouse to the perfection of Grecian womanhood; an idealized example of how a true and proper Greek woman should behave and what she should be able to accomplish. In more recent times, Penelope was the basis for the Victorian poet Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “aged wife” (Shull 32), and the “witch, the old lady” (Shull 32) in his poem “Ulysses.” Another modern poet has taken a bit of a different stance on what she thinks Penelope is like. In her poem “At Ithaca,” Hilda Doolittle wrote about Penelope during the post-Freudian era of the 1920s (Shull 32). According to Doolittle, Penelope becomes more and more exhausted having to ward off the constant influx of suitors that are eating her out of house and home (Shull 33). In her desperation, Penelope sits at her loom and watches out her bedroom window for the return of the husband she fears has taken up with some enchantress and will never come home (Shull 32-33). Another poem of Doolittle’s dealing with Penelope is “Simaetha.” In this particular poem, Hilda Doolittle paints a picture of Penelope as an even more desperate woman who is very close to slipping over the edge of reality, having been forced to wait too long for the return of her husband (Shull 33).
