Penelope

1. Initial: The initial situation is when Euryceila tells Penelopeia that Odysseus is back and in her home, but Penelopeia doesn't believe it. (Page 282: " 'Wake up, dear love; wake up, Penelopeia! come and see with thi own eyes what tha's prayed for many a long day! The master has come, he's in the house, better late than never! and he's killed the whole lot of come- marry-me-quicks, who have made themselves a nuisance, and eaten thi vittles, and plagued thi boy!' Penelopeia was too cautious to believe this. She replied: 'Nanny dear, the gods have made you mad. They can make the wisest of men foolish, and they can give good sense to the weakest mind. They have upset even you, and you are generally sound enough...' ") Reversal:

1. Initial: Telemachos calls a town meeting to tell the suitors to leave his mother's house and let them live in peace. Reversal: Antinous calls Penelopeia a liar (when she was secretly unravelling the cloth) and it is her fault that all the suitors haven't left yet. Revelation: The suitors will not leave nor listen to Telemachos, so Athena tells him to gather the supplies he will need, as she gathers a boat/crew for their journey, which she says will leave that night. 2. Personification Protagonist: Telemachos, he is the one who calls the meeting, along with telling the suitors to leave.
