Athena induces a sleep for B. Penelope during Odyssey.
Penelope is unaware of the fact that her husband is back and she announces that she will marry the first person who can perform a particular feat with a bow and arrow. However, Odysseus in disguise obviously doesn't like that so he and his companions massacre every suitor in the castle while Penelope was sleeping (granted by goddess Athens).
