Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope.


Ruses serve my turn

to draw the time out—first a close-grained web

I had the happy thought to set up weaving

on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day:

'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead

let me finish my weaving before I marry,

or else my thread will have been spun in vain.

It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes

when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier.

The country wives would hold me in dishonor

if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.'

I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed.

So every day I wove on the great loom,

but every night by torchlight I unwove it;

and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians.
