Overview

Ithaca

Ithaca is a Greek island located in the Ionian Sea, off the northeast coast of Kefalonia and to the west of continental Greece. Today, Ithaka is a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands region, and the only municipality of the regional unit. The capital, Vathy or Ithaki, has one of the world's largest natural harbours. Modern Ithaca is generally identified with Homer's Ithaca, the home of Odysseus, whose delayed return to the island is one of the elements of the Odyssey's plot.

Penelope

Penelope was the intelligent and faithful wife of the Ithacan ruler Odysseus, who kept her suitors at bay in his long absence and was eventually reunited with him. Her story was recounted in Homer’s Odyssey.

Dawn of Man

May the blessings of Hermes be upon you, Penelope, daughter of Icarius and Periboea! You are the leader of Ithaca, and wife of the famed and feared Odysseus. Your name has traditionally been associated with marital faithfulness, following your twenty-year wait for Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. As many as 108 suitors attempted to win your hand in marriage and you engaged many tactics to delay her suitors, one of which was to pretend to be weaving a burial shroud for Odysseus's elderly father Laertes and claiming that you would choose a suitor when you had finished.
