Description
Re-edit at 22.00 hrs, june 30th.
As many of you may probably know, Penelope is another of those mythic heroines whose beauties were rather those of character and conduct than of person. In Greek mythology, Penelope is wife of Odysseus.
In Homer's Odyssey she is pictured as a chaste and faithful wife. When Odysseus was away_ for two decades_ , she was surrounded by suitors who tried to persuade her that he would never return. She agreed to choose another husband when she finished weaving her father-in-law's shroud, but this was never done, for she unraveled by night what she wove by day. (This is the famous Penelope's web, which is used as
a proverbial expression for anything which is perpetually doing
but never done.) At last her strategem was discovered, and the suitors were enraged.
She promised to marry the man who could bend her husband's great bow. None of the suitors could do this but Odysseus, who had returned disguised as a beggar. With the aid of the strung bow, Odysseus slaughtered the suitors and then revealed himself to Penelope. She, however, cannot believe her husband has really returned... And the story continues.
Well, this is my tribute to that singular character. I wanted to focus in the subject of the eternal delay and in the strength of an attitude towards life.
It may look a little "creepy" but it wasn

What a magical image! as though there really wasnt any point for time to go on, so she froze and turned to stone. Such a wonderful balance of light and dark. And the most delicate shade of blue for the flowers. Maybe the plant is a statement too, poised in the background but ready to spread and take over the stone woman. Deeply touching!
