Most of us think of Homer's Odyssey as the story of the 20-year homecoming of the hero Odysseus. However, this story belongs equally to his wife, Penelope. How does she fare during this long time? Homer loved the fully-human Penelope. When he created her, he gave her the heart and soul of a flesh-and-blood woman, with real values, feelings, and conflicts. She is Queen and mother, but is she wife or widow? Penelope's home-coming is different from that of Odysseus; it's the story of her coming home to herself. In this rich course, begun in the fall and now open to new participants, we bring Penelope to the center of her own story and her own life. Please join us as we celebrate Penelope's inner odyssey and her significance for us today.
For this program, we intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers.
