a.Penelope
In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope is the wife of Odysseus, who is known for her faithfulness to Odysseus while he is absent, despite having many suitors.
Her name has traditionally been associated with marital faithfulness, and so it was with the Greeks and Romans, but some recent feminist readings offer a more ambiguous interpretation.Her character is beyond what was available to most women at the time, and she is considered a match for Odysseus due to her immense strength, warmth and intelligence.
