Read Robert Fagles translation of "The Odyssey." It is a stirring and poetic rendering of Homer' epic.Then think about his poor wife Penelope waiting 20 years for her husband to return home from Troy. Read about her side in Margaret Atwood's "The Penelopiad."

The Sirens: "Beautiful Maidens"; in reality, the Sirens were man-eating amphibious humanoids.
