Homework answers / question archive / Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope
Answer: "and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians"
Penelope's trick to delay the suitors so that she could wait for Odysseus, her husband, to return was to set up a weave and tell them that she would not choose a husband until she was finished. Every day she wove and every night she undid the weaving so that it would never be finished.
Several quotes in this passage show that she is clever, but this last one shows it the most because it proves that her scheme actually worked. Just having the idea or doing the action of weaving is not enough to show that she is clever. The fact that she was able to deceive an entire group of men shows how clever she is.
