Penelope and Weaving
Presented by Olga Levaniouk
As part of the Centre for Hellenic Studies’ Online Open House series, guest Olga Levaniouk guides a close reading of passages from Homer’s Odyssey. By analysing and comparing examples of Penelope weaving throughout the poem, Levaniouk invites a wider discussion of the portrayal of Penelope and the metaphor of women weaving across Homer’s texts.
