Ítaca

Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him all the men of fighting age on the island of Ithaca. None of them have returned, and the women of Ithaca are the ones who must lead the kingdom. Penelope was just a grown woman when she married Ulises. As long as he was alive, she would be safe. But now, years later, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and suitors begin knocking on her door. No man is strong enough to claim Ulysses' empty throne. Penelope knows that one misstep can lead to a bloody civil war. Only through cunning, resourcefulness, and her circle of trusted servants can she maintain the fragile peace necessary for the kingdom to survive. This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, the famous wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before. Above the island, the gods conduct the wars of men. But in Ithaca, it is the abandoned women and their goddesses who will change the fate of the world.
