Answer: live under the shadow of pandora ,and the disfavor of the gods

Step-by-step explanation:

They are either Helpers or Hindrances. Women in the Odyssey offer an insight into the roles of women in general in ancient Greece during the time of the epic’s writing. The society of the day was patriarchal. Women were considered weak yet cunning. Men were strong, brave, courageous.

Greek mythology stretching back to Pandora portrayed women as often-foolish and weak-willed, with their curiosity far too strong for their own good, leaving them in need of a man to guide and control them. In the origins story of Greek mythology, Pandora was a woman who was given a box containing all of the woes of the world. Warned not to open it, she was unable to resist taking a peek. By opening the box, she released all of the woes that plague humanity to this day.
