Her fame will live forever, and the deathless gods will make a poem to delight all those on earth about intelligent Penelope.200 Not like my wife—who murdered her own husband! Her story will be hateful; she will bring bad reputation to all other women, even the good ones.” So they spoke together, standing in Hades, hidden in the earth.
