Penelope, faithful and devoted wife of Odysseus, has been waiting for more than ten years for her husband to return to their home, Ithaka, a beautiful island in the blue waters of the Ionian Sea. When the peace of Ithaka is shattered by the arrival of strangers ambitious for the hand of her mistress, handmaiden Klymene becomes caught up in passions inspired by the gods. This is not the re-telling of Homer's Odyssey - it is the story of the women left behind.
