Penelope Waiting

Description

Penelope was the child-bride of Odysseus and a symbol of devotion and patience; for 10 years Odysseus fought in the Trojan War, and then took another 10 to reach his home in Ithaca. While Penelope scanned the seas every day for a glimpse of her husband's returning ship, she also had to contend with numerous suitors, greedy for Odysseus' kingdom. Odysseus finally returned and killed them all.
Way to go, Od.

Penelope is being played by Tracie76Stock, while the rocks and sea is a mix of original stock and Bryce, while the sky is a blend of stock from Stock-Feele and something called 'Backgrounds 02', for which i can't find an owner.


the full view is recommended (the suitors ignored this advice at their peril)
