The Penelopiad is a retelling of Homer's The Odyssey from the perspective of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus. Penelope reflects on her life before, during, and after Odysseus' journey, shedding light on the challenges she faced and the sacrifices she made to protect her family and maintain her morality. Through her narration, readers are given a feminist reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth, exploring the themes of long-suffering women, power dynamics, and the consequences of male heroism.
