    For example, if Penelope chose a husband from one of the suitors, her new husband would be king, he would then take care of her and kill Odysseus if he returned. Odysseus also could have stayed with Calypso forever, but since Penelope and Odysseus shared a familial love for one another, she confounded the suitors, and he came home to her.

In those characters, the authors made the perfect counter-balance for their husbands; strong but chaste women who would remain faithful to their husbands and their…
