Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Penelope is the wife of Odysseus in the Odyssey.
Odysseus' Relationship
In the Odyssey, Odysseus is away from his wife for 20 years. It's important to note the time in order to understand how much fidelity and patience Penelope had. Before answering, remember that fidelity means loyalty and faithfulness.
After Odysseus left and was presumed dead, multiple men came to Penelope to ask for her hand in marriage. Every time, she turned them away and proved her fidelity to Odysseus. Eventually, Penelope even made a plan to keep suitors away. She claimed that she would not marry anyone until she finished weaving a shroud. However, every night she would undo all her work from the previous day. This proves her intelligence and her loyalty to Odysseus.
Odysseus' Crown
The suitors wanted to marry Penelope for multiple reasons. One is that Odysseus was king of Ithaca and since he was "dead", whoever married Penelope would become king. Penelope ensured that no other man would become king while Odysseus was gone. This shows that Penelope was not only loyal to their relationship but also protected Odysseus' position and crown.
