Illiad and odyssy
in the odyssey, why does penelope weave a shroud each day and then unweave it each night?
a.
since she promised to bury odysseus in the shroud, this is her way of delaying her husband's funeral.
b.
since she promised to remarry when the shroud is complete, this is her way of delaying her second marriage.
c.
since the shroud is meant to be a veil for telemachus' bride, this is her way of delaying her son's wedding.
d.
since the shroud is meant to be a funeral cloth for laertes, this is her way of delaying her father-in-law's death.
