Odyssey Why do u think Athena urged Penelope to have the contest? Why do u think she made her fall asleep? Asked by jillb on 10 Jun 22:10 Last updated by Cat on 18 Dec 20:52
She urges Penelope to have a contest to get rid of the crowd of suitors gathered in her place. I think Athena wants Penelope to believe she had this vision in a dream.
