When Odysseus didn't come, Penelope devised a plan to delay having to marry one of these suitors.Because she was a queen, Penelope would have been expected to marry after her husband died.

To stall, she said she wouldn't marry until she'd finished weaving a funeral shroud for Laertes, Odysseus' father. Now, weaving is slow, but it's not that slow.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| I will not marry until I finish weaving. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| i guess i will have to accept that Penelope. | |

Luckily, Penelope had a trick up her sleeve: she wove all day, and then unraveled all her work at night. No one could figure out why the shroud never grew, until a maid blabbed on her.
