Penelope

Penelope is a character of the Odyssey, one of the two great epic poems (the other being the Iliad) of ancient Greek literature. Penelope is the wife of the main character, the king of Ithaca Odysseus (also known as Ulysses) and daughter of Eurynome; she waits twenty years for the return of her husband from the Troy war, while she has hard times in refusing marriage proposal from several princes. For this reason, she is often regarded as a symbol of connubial fidelity.
