Download or read book The Penelopeia written by Jane Rawlings and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2003 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recounted in a fast-moving, unrhymed free verse that both pauses and gallops, Ms. Rawlings pulls us back into the landscape and the culture of pre-Attic Greece. She makes us see how this tale might have unfolded if Penelope had been celebrated by Homer. She takes us on adventures that would confound even the cunning Odysseus, and brings herself and her daughters back intact to a husband who has been forever changed and a household that has survived her absence. It is a woman's tale unlike any that has ever been written and a high adventure.
