Addison Hurst · Answer 1

We would know approximately when Penepole was born if we knew when the Trojan War occurred, or was said to have occurred. Many events of the Odessey reflect the Mycenaean civilization which continued from around 2000 until around 1200 BCE. Some believe that the Trojan War, if it really did occur, happened around 1194-1184 BCE.

A city believed to be Troy was unearthed in 1870, giving some credence to the general outline of the story.

Penelope is the wife of the main character, the king of Ithaca, Odysseus (Ulysses in Roman mythology), and daughter of Icarius of Sparta and his wife Periboea. She only has one son by Odysseus, Telemachus, who was born just before Odysseus was called to fight in the Trojan War.
