The Loom of Penelope, from the Chuisi Vase, Etruscan, c400 BC (1930). Penelope with her son, Telemachus. A scene from the Odyssey. While waiting for the return of her missing husband, Odysseus, Penelope delayed various suitors, claiming that she had first to finish weaving a burial shroud for Odysseus's elderly father, Laertes.
