They are described as beautiful women, but they are incredibly dangerous. They have no interest in helping Odysseus but instead want to ruin him by using their song to persuade him to jump out of his boat to his death. 

Quote: "Square in your ship’s path are Seirênês, crying beauty to bewitch men coasting by; woe to the innocent who hears that sound!"  (12.42-44).]]> 2020-12-09 20:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1003985678 https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1006666602 Penelope fits in the "good wife" archetype. She stayed faithful to Odysseus for nearly twenty years. She was also clever about her actions, so she could deceive the suitors and commit to her loyalty towards Odysseus. (Even if at times she did not feel the best connection towards their marriage.)

Quote: "Spurn them she dare not, though she hates the marriage, nor can she bring herself to choose among them."

She is a maid at Odysseus's house and always obeys the orders given to her,  despite her own feelings. When Telemachus leaves, he tells Eurykleia not to tell anyone, not even Penelope until he has been gone fore eleven or twelve days. Although she fears for his safety, Eurykleia obeys him. When she recognizes Odysseus as the beggar, he tells her not to reveal his identity. Eurykleia is overjoyed at the return of her master, but keeps his secret.

"So the old woman vowed by all the gods, and vowed again , to carry out his wishes ... " (2. 400 - 401).  ]]> 2020-12-10 15:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1006675948 https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1006676962 Athena does not fit any archetype.  Athena is strong willed and not held back by any man.  However; she is also not dangerous. She is free to do anything she wants without permissions of others. Athena is no villain, she is one of the many heroes in the story. She is a good wife when she helped Odysseus along his journey, but she is a seductress when she helped kill the suitors.

Circe was describe to be full of “beauty” and very “divine.” But as we see in the quote below and a few times in The Odyssey, we can see that Circe isn’t what she seems. She turned several members of Odysseus’ crew and turned them into pigs.

Quote: “So, squealing, in they went. And Kirkê tossed them acorns, mast, and cornel berries—fodder
for hogs who rut and slumber on the earth”.

While Agamenmon was in The Trojan War, Klytemnestra and her lover plotted his death. In the underworld, Odysseus talked to Agamenmon about his death. Agamenmon then told Odysseus that all women are bad and can't be trusted. Klytemnestra's point of view on the story was never told and she was automatically assumed to be a horrible person.

Quote: "Klytemnestra, the adulteress, waited to stab her lord and king. That song will be forever hateful. A bad name she gave to womankind, even the best" (Book 24.page 313)]]> 2020-12-10 15:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1006680151 https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1006721684 Calypso can be seen as neither because even though she resembled some characteristics of the good wife, like being very loyal to Odysseus and wanting him to be happy but deep down Odysseus was not happy and she knew that. She instead was very selfless and keep Odysseus captive. Even when Apollo came and said that Odysseus has to leave because she still tried to argue that he should stay as if it was what was good for him, and it clearly wasn´t. ]]> 2020-12-10 16:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jjoiner9/9qgfvhmoqsnrv66o/wish/1006721684
