À travers le personnage de Pénélope et son tissage toujours repris, se dessine en creux une autre Odyssée : celle de l'attente d'Ulysse, d'une mémoire féminine qui arrête la durée pour donner au héros le temps de rejoindre Ithaque. Pariant sur la cohérence d'ensemble de l'épopée, Ioanna Papadopoulou-Belmehdi voit dans la toile de Pénélope "le code d'accès à la structure sinueuse de la poétique odysséenne" et sait alors entendre, dans la répétition de l'histoire de Pénélope, éclatée en plusieurs versions qui ne consonnent pas, une mise en dialogue au sein même du texte de l'Odyssée. Alors se révèle l'intériorité de ce "personnage-penseur" qui, pour peu qu'on prenne au sérieux son détissage, n'est ni incolore ni conforme, mais invente l'analyse pour des générations de philosophes.

Noted for her contradictory words and actions, Penelope has been a problematic character for critics of the Odyssey, many of whom turn to psychological explanations to account for her behavior. In a fresh approach to the problem, Marylin Katz links Penelope closely with the strategies that govern the overall design of the narrative. By examining its apparent inconsistencies and its deferral of truth and closure, she shows how Penelope represents the indeterminacy that is characteristic of the narrative as a whole. Katz argues that the controlling narrative device of the poem is the paradigm of Agamemnon's fateful return from the Trojan War, narrated in the opening lines of the Odyssey. This story operates not only as a point of reference for Odysseus' homecoming but also as an alternative plot, and the danger that Penelope will betray Odysseus as Clytemnestra did Agamemnon is kept alive throughout the first half of the poem. Once Odysseus reaches Ithaca, however, the paradigm of Helen's faithlessness substitutes for that of Clytemnestra. The narrative structure of the Odyssey is thus based upon an intratextual revision of its own paradigm, through which the surface meaning of Penelope's words and actions is undermined though never openly discredited.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
