The first female character, Penelope, played a very important role in the tale of "The Odyssey" as the faithful wife. This can be seen on page 517 when Penelope tells her maid, "Make up his bed for him, Eurycleia. Place it outside the bedchamber my lord built with his own hands". This is important because it shows that Penelope wants to be certain the man in disguise is truly her husband before she agrees to marry this "suitor". She then brings up their bed, which was built by Odysseus, certain that only Odysseus would know the details. This shows she is faithful to Odysseus and not any of the suitors trying to marry her. Though Penelope has shown herself to be the faithful wife, not all the females in Greek mythology are honest and kind. The second female character, Circe, played a very important role in the tale of "The Odyssey" as the sorceress. She is known for her ability to transform men into animals. This can be seen on page 492 when "Eurylochus reports that Circe has turned Odysseus’s men into swine and begs him to leave her island. Instead, Odysseus rushes to rescue his men. He meets the god Hermes along the way." This event is important because it demonstrates Odysseus's leadership qualities and loyalty to his men. Despite Eurylochus's warning to leave Circe's island, Odysseus chooses to take action to rescue his men who have been turned into swine by Circe. This shows that Odysseus cares for his men and is willing to go to great lengths to protect them. Circe eventually becomes a helpful ally to Odysseus, advising him on his journey and helping him navigate the dangers that lie ahead.
