Penelope is a figure from ancient Greek mythology, best known as the wife of Odysseus in Homer's epic poem *The Odyssey*, where she famously waited for her husband's return from the Trojan War while fending off suitors. She has remained an important symbol in Western literature and culture, representing loyalty and patience, and is frequently depicted in ancient Greek art and later artistic works.
