What?!
Have you read the book?
That's like asking "Who is the hero of the Odyssey?"
Outside threats to the integrity of the family and community is the plot of the book!

--Well, when Odysseus left Ithaca to fight in the Trojan wars--obviously the length of time of 10 yrs.(if I remember correctly) was far beyond any reasonable conscription, for even Christian families to stay intact.
--He put his wife in a precarious situation for that period of time. Penelope could have easily become unfaithful, especially with all the free love stuff going on in Greece. The suitors hanging around their estate would have succeeded in due time if he didn't show up.
