Reboreda Morillo, Susana2010-02-162010-02-161998http://hdl.handle.net/10272/2670The article analyses the figure of Penelope in her role as transmissor of royal power, a role that she acquires when her husband, Odisseus, basileus of Ithaca is missed for a lungtine. This fact has been used to support the existence of a matriarchal structure in Ancient Greek society. The purpose of the article is to challenge this view, and present a new interpretation of Penelope's role in the transmission of royal power.spaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/journal articleopen access
