Penelope would never blame Odysseus or be angry with him because of the goddesses
Thankfully I don't see this too often but often enough that I'm mad about it.
She absolutely adores her "strange man". She would know damn well that he would never give up trying to come home.
And she would never feel like he betrayed her because of what he went through. She's not stupid or cruel. She would never blame him for being raped or call him a cheater for it.
Like, that's not Penelope.
It's possible that Odysseus felt like HE betrayed her with all the trauma. But she would reassure and adore him as she always has.
Maybe other people would assume so and gossip but she knows her Joy.
Yeah, we technically don't know the aftermath of the Odyssey by Homer but based on their love and affection after he told her everything, she would not "think he's a whore".
If anything she would weep WITH him, sorrowed by the suffering he has gone through. Smooth his hair and kiss his tear-stained cheeks. Reassure him.
#This is the same with Helen and Menelaus but since we see them after “everything”. I would HOPE people would fucking understand#that yeah.
