"Not one could equal Penelope for intrigue
but in this case she intrigued beyond all limits."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 2, lines 134-135. Antinous says this to Telemachus about his mother Penelope’s weaving trick. While he means it as a criticism, it could be also seen as a compliment to Penelope’s undoubted clever tactics. Penelope is very like Odysseus in her cunning.
