None of them has returned, and the women of Ithaca have been left behind to run the kingdom. Penelope was barely into womanhood when she wed Odysseus. While he lived, her position was secure. But now, years on, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and suitors are beginning to knock at her door. No one man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne--not yet. But everyone waits for the balance of power to tip, and Penelope knows that any choice she makes could plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war. 0aPenelope (Greek mythological character)vFiction926322 0aOdysseus, King of Ithaca (Mythological character)vFiction926323 0aMythology912220 0aSurvivalvFiction926325 0aMan-woman relationships vFiction911134 0aIthaca Island (Greece)vFiction926324  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-10-24l0oP-EN NORpB05690r2025-10-24t1w2025-10-24y1  c5106d5106
