1 quote

The gifts Athene gave her beyond women—
Skill in fair handiwork, and clever wit
And craft—whereof we never heard the like,
Not even in fair-haired Achaean women,
Lost ladies of old years, Alcmene, Tyro,
Or comely-crowned Mycene; none of these
Was like Penelope in shrewdness.

The Odyssey of Homer (1925)
