Homer is the author of The Odyssey. In the Odyssey, and in the Penelopiad, Penelope is married to Odysseus. Twice in this stub Homer is mistakenly referred to as a character, specifically Penelope's husband, where is should actually be Odysseus.
"Atwood uses material from The Odyssey to spin a yarn about how Penelope waited for twenty years for Homer to return, giving clues as to what she did to evade the suitors, did she collude with the maids to evade them, or did she herself fall for the suitors and betrayed Homer; and when he returned, got the maids killed to save herself."
