It is always a wonder, the strength of women, as exemplified by the different women characters of Iliad and Odyssey.
Andromache bravely watched her husband Hector fight for dear life from the battle wall. She even console Helen who was already blaming herself for the pain the Trojans are going through.
Penelope untiringly waited for 20 years for the return of her husband.
Helen stood her ground when she eloped with Paris, and in the end she accepted her fault and went back to Menelaus.
Circe fought her own self when she helped Odysseus.
Kalypso, though was told by Hermes, fought for her love even if she knows Odysseus would still live her.
Hecuba watched Hector die and helped Priam through her prayers to fight the horror of times.
Cassandra stood her ground on her allegations on Helen bringing curse to Troy even if no one believes her.
Polyxena fought for her star-crossed lover, Achilleus.
All women who were mentioned fought their battles in their own way, and maybe it is indeed a sign of strength knowing the task on hand requires a lot of self-control and wit. What they did is an example of how a woman staunchly handles life's challenges, it is a picture of how they cope up with their stressors. It is a a decision they heroically stand for, now it makes me think--- Can we consider what Antikleia did as display of bravery?

Antikleia, as the mother of Odysseus. Had been brave through those days of raising him with her husband and even after the death of Odysseus' father. But sometimes, a woman's strength has its limit. sometimes a mother's strength would come to an end. We all have our own limits. And as to think of, 20 years or less of waiting, it melts our bravery of waiting. And for me, Antikleia did display a very great bravery even if it came to an end.
Well, I can't really relate myself because this time it's on women's side.
As mothers, they always bring the pain of what their siblings are going through. And as for Antikleia, yes! what she had shown can also be considered as bravery for standing still inspite of everything. But, Antikleia considering through the years, had grown so old along her pain kept inside, felt exhausted waiting her son, has come to an end.
The mother of Odysseus, Antikleia has been brave in raising Odysseus alone when her husband died. But her bravery doesn't last that long. She could not wait for Odysseus' return and end her life in drowning in the ocean. But for the past years of waiting, i think she is still brave in her own way.

Antiklea the mother of Odysseus had been brave enough for raising Odysseus alone and for the care she showed even it caused her death for longing her son. It caused her so much pain for waiting her son and even she's dead, she takes her part as a responsible mother to Odysseus.

Upon raising Odysseus alone,i could say YES,Antikleia is brave..it is not easy for a mother to raise her child alone,but Antikleia wasted her life in the end.. her limit on waiting for the return of Odysseus has ended,in that case,that was the bravest part a mother could do for the sake of seeing her child again,she sacrificed her life just to see Odysseus even fo the last time..

For me, what Antikleia did is not a sign of bravery but a sign of being hopeless,impatient, and lack of trust to the words of his son. Odysseus promise them that he will come back alive, but, due to her impatience, she ended her life without thinking what Penelope will going to feel. She only thinks for herself and did not wait for her son to come back. We all know that ending one's life is a big sin to God, and what she did is unforgivable to God.

I could say, Antikleia is indeed a brave women, in raising ODYSSEUS alone, in letting her son fought for a battle without even a single assurance if he would return home to Ithaca and in waiting for how many years just to embrace and kiss her son. her eagerness to see her son leads her to end her life and meet her son in the place of the deads.

For me, Antikleia shows bravery from the very beginning up to the end. For she waited his son for a very long period of time hoping that odysseus his son will arrive safe and alive. perhaps, as what Antikleia have done is not a display of impatience and being hopeless. Instead she end her life that way because maybe she thinks that it is the only way ffor her to know if what really happens to odysseus even through her death.

Antiklea is such a brave mother. This only shows that mother love and sacrifices everything for her children.

What Antikliea did really shows bravery.She waited for twenty years and she can no longer stand the grief with the thought that Odysseus is gone.So she decided to end her own life with the hope to find Odysseus on the other side of life perhaps than to live hoping against hope that Odysseus,his son would still come home to her.She decided to take the risk than to wait for nothing.

Although she commit suicide still waiting for her son for 20 years is still a sign of bravery. She handled the sadness for that long even without an asurance that her son is still alive. thinking that maybe his son is no longer in the world she follows him in underworld which is for me is a sign oe bravery. Her love for her son is above all.

A mother is always a mother. With the presence of strength and bravery, encourage her children to fight for their rights and reminding their duties.
Antikleia, being a mother to Odysseus, also been brave enough to overcome the emptiness and loneliness she is suffering, from those time her son was far from her sight.
But with the scene she cannot stop her self for searching Odysseus, follows his way into the sea, that causes her life to end. Still she was able to see his son in the place of the dead. She was tired of waiting that causes her weakness, that her patience reaches its limitations. But then it is not easy for a mother that his child would be taken away from her and not knowing what would be his condition.

We all know that being a responsible parent and sacrificing lives were quite hard enough to do but then it shows the real meaning of Bravery. But what Antikleia did is just showing herself like being hopeless and lack of trust to his son Odysseus- whom told her that he would come back alive..and then she wasn't able to think that Penelope needs her to be her comforter and to be in her side always to continue hoping and praying that Odysseus will be back soon even if hundreds years of waiting would cost.

Antikleia,the mother of Odysseus. She has been brave through those years. But women strength has limits. Thinking of many years of waiting for your son to come back and you aren't sure that his still alive would kill you softly and she end her life thinking that his son was there in the underworld. For me what she did in her own way is a sign of bravery..

Every mother has the so called "responsibility" in the family especially in raising their children no matter what happens.
Like Antikleia, mother of Odyyseus, who raised him alone when Odysseus' father died. Of course he missed Oddyseus so much that she can't wait for his return that's why he drowned hersef in the water to meet him in the underworld.
The braveness she showed in all the people in their place is seen by everyone. But as creature we have the tendency to be affected in all the things we are encountering. But still I can say that she is brave.

The mother of Odysseus can be considered as brave for she was able to take the longing to see her son. But because of motherly feeling and nature sometimes they can't take it anymore to just seat and do nothing to have a solution. That is why the reaction of Anteklia shows braveness for she is willing to do anything to see Odysseus she longed to see foe long years.

Being a mother is not easy. You are already tied into a responsibility that you could not escape.Raising the children and see them growing is what every moms desire and to be with their children in every circumstances is what they wanted.
In the case of Anteklia, being left by a son is like killing oneself. How could a mother soundly sleep at night without knowing where her son is? It is so painful.
The longing to see his son is really what drives her to do it.She is brave. What it takes is his courage thats why she made a way to see Odysseus.

Being a mother is not easy to bring the pain and her responsibility to her son. Maybe he cannot bring the pain at last that's why she's killing her self.
By this she is not considered to be brave because infact if she is brave she did not give up and wait for the time if is really true Odyssues died. Likewise with Penelope she wait the time because on her heart
odyssues is alive..

Frankly speaking being a mother is not easy especialy of all her responibility and obligation raising theit children.

If she is brave all the pains and trails in her life she can bring it to last and besides she wanted to wait the time for the true and real reason.

Antikleia was brave enough when his son Odysseus left them..But because of so many years that his son didn't back to them, she lost her bravery and commit herself to death..
Not all times woman are so brave enough to fight all the challenges that came to her life. Womans strength would come to an end and it has a limitation in every challenges and struggles that they faced..
I believe that Antikleia is definitely a brave woman. For many years not seeing Odysseus, his son and longing for his love and care is a great sacrifice and a painful feeling especially for a mother. Thinking for his son's situation almost everyday that made her heart ache each time of which she decided to commit suicide. Upon seeing Odysseus in the Ring of Fire, she was contented already that she knows that her son is alive though it cost his soul to be in a place of all sorrows forever.
It only proves that our mother will do anything for our own sake even it will harm them. We must always remember to LOVE our mother and to respect them at all times.

Every woman has a different ways to show their bravery.
Our mother sacrifices for us since we are still inside their wombs, they take good care of us for nine months and when they gave birth to us until now they are still taking care of us and providing our needs.
As what Antikleia deed for his son Odysseus.
Antikleia did not saw Odysseus for almost 20 years and for a mother it really hurts. And for that years antikleia was worried for her son if what had happened to him and hoping that her son will come back safely from war. But Odysseus was not back and so she thought that her son was died and decided to commit suicide and hoping to see his son in the other side of the world.
When she saw his son in the ring of fire she was contented and happy and for the last day of her life to see his son, she still deed something for him and that was helping Odysseus to escape that place safely and go back to his land and to his family.
Every mother would sacrifice and do everything for her children.

When Antikleia, the mother of Odysseus committed suicide, she just showed her weakness. She won’t do it if only she was brave enough to face all her worries and anxieties.
Zcharmalou Camanse
BS-IT 2
Not in a sense. If she’s really brave she should have waited for Odysseus to come back and or accept whatever situations are. Suicide (we may call) is not a sign of bravery but of weakness. Though she waited that long but the fact that she committed mistake, she is weak. She has lost his faith all the way.
The woman in the Iliad and Odyssey are extraordinary. Different scenarios, different characteristics, different backgrounds and stories.Yet, there is a very evident attitude that all of them showed- bravery.
On Antikleia's situation, she wasn't able to carry all the struggles and the desire to be with her son, Odysseus. She committed suicide for she believe that her son was already dead. For her, it is the way in which she can see him again. Suicide is not an act of bravery. It is a weakness-you let yourself being carried away by your emotions. Though it takes a lot of courage to wait patiently for her son to come back, still at the end, she wasn't able to overcome it.

Yes, I could still consider what Antekleia did as an display of bravery. For it is death that she faced just to see her son Odysseus again. It's because of the pain she felt when missing his only son and she never let anyone stop her and she does follow him to death as what she believes. And by doing it, she succeed seeing Odysseus but suddenly what happened was that she showed her weakness by the time her son was not in her arms.

Antikleia is the mother of Odysseus who one of the great and brave women at her time.In the movie she holds a very brave character,and while she is waiting for her son to return she became weak and because of that she commit suicide.She had done that not because he is tired of waiting for her son but because of her reason that, if it is true that her son is dead then at least they will be together in the underworld.We should always remember that every man have their weaknesses, because no man is perfect.....

Mother is always be our mother eventhough time wil pass by. Antikleia, mother of Odysseus is a brave one, though she commits suicide.. Killing yourself needs bravery to do it. And it was not easy to feel the pain that goes in us. Antikleia suffers for a long years in waiting Odysseus to come back. And waiting for someone in a long time without knowing that the thing that we expect most will come back was a sign of bravery. Maybe Antikleia believes that Odysseus was dead when she saw their ship that have been destroyed by the wind. And in order for her to find the answers, she must go to the underworld to find her son. It was called bravey as well.. Sacrificing your life was the greatest test of bravery.

Even she didn't know that her son, Odysseus can come back alive. But she still let Odysseus go because he believed in his son.It is like Virgin Mary that given her Son, Jesus to be kill by the people because she trust God. Antikleia is also like Virgin Mary, that she entrust her son to the gods and goddesses and believe to her son. And she bare the pain inside her heart of not knowing of what had happened to his son. And she waited for a very long year. But, her bravery had come to its limit when the time comes that she committed suicide because for me, she did that because she cannot already bare the pain.

Antikleia, a mother of Odysseus. Who had been so caring mother and who had longed for Odysseus touch while her son is on his journey.
suicide on Antikleia is not a what we can consider as bravery,but a sign of whom she had lost her hope. Thus, it only show's weaknesses to one's self. A big mistake to make that only those who have been save to it used to have regrets. nevertheless, she is happy to meet his son in the underworld as she cant wait for the day for her son to come back. So she took the risk just to meet her son and chooses to commit suicide to meet him as she was losing her hopes while she's alive and she felt like life is not complete without his beloved son Odysseus. That is what a mother is, though it is not that what we call bravery but in ourselves we consider it as a greatness on a mother towards his son that she loves.

No, because bravery is not being comprised by weakness and loss of hope.

Some say, "Taking a rest is different from giving up". And as to Antikleia, Indeed she is brave yet considering her human nature; she suddenly gives up and let sorrow and grief swallow her. Her experience reminds me of my mother. Before she died, I witness her long suffering and dedication to give us good education and life. And yes, I know she did it well. I am disciplined and didn’t turn out as a rebellious child as some expects us to be as children from a broken family. Well, I’m happy that I discourage many for their general expectations but this sweet success I have, I owe it to her who have given me lots and lots of lessons in my life that taught me to be brave and to be strong with my faith even trials, challenge, troubles are at present.
My mother is brave until she died with lung cancer like Antikleia that died because of her deep sorrows and long endurance of pain. I guess they both fight a good fight. It is just that at the end, their sorrow and misery had swallowed them and both give up but do not mean their bravery is forgotten. I guess there are moments of life wherein we are not able to carry every load of burden. These are baggage of life, an inevitable truth that through faith we are lifted up and sometimes we let God’s will handle it while we are unable to face it.
antikleia was mother of odysseus .for me it was not brave because he did not wait his son and in terms of she have to be calm and trust to his son capability.she commit suicide without reason.

We all know that we children are more closer to our mother than to our father and they are the one who gives us comfort and advice when we have a problem. But when Antikleia committed suicide. For me it is not a sign of bravery but a sign of impatience in waiting for Odysseus to come back to their country or palace and i think that she is losing her hope and believing that Odysseus at that time is already dead.

When i've seen the movie,I can say that Antiklea is brave enough raising her son Odyseus all by herself and despite of the circumstances she encounter,she was able to handle it all.But when Odyseus left to fight in the battle and heard no news about her son, Antiklea committed suicide because of depresion and lossing of hope to see her son alive,still she showed braveness waiting for 20years standing still bringing the courage to face the limits of her life at all until came to an end.
...everyone has its own limitation and we can never blame Antikleia if she ended up her life upon waiting for her son. let us not just look into her being impatient but on how she had raised up Odysseus. she is a woman of strenght for all the years she spent her life with her son and the people of Ithaca. she had her own reason of taking away her life but until the end she had always thought of her precious son. a mother will always be a mother to her son til the last breath of her life.

As a mother who raised his son so well, I can say that Antikleia is brave. But her bravery has reached it's limit as to think that she regard his son as already dead. she has waited for his son to appear but time stood up so long that a mother can possibly think that her son is already at rest in peace.
On the other hand, I can also say that Antikleia is not so brave as expected. Bravery requires physical strength just like in the midst of a fight or war.
Antikleia is only brave by patiently waiting for her son that reached it's limit and decided to die...

Antikleia is not consider as a brave woman because she commit saucide.

Antikleia was a great mother of Odysseus, for she raised it with full responsibilty anspite of the absence of her husband that died.I think 20 years is long enough to wait for the son who is gone for that long time.She will always be brave even though she ends her own life, not because ha waited that long but because he raised Odysseus a great person.

Antikleia had been brave in facing her challenges in her life, hoping that Odysseus will return to her side..But I can also say that her bravery was gone, when she surrender her goal in waiting for Odysseus and commit a suicide.
The strength of a woman is unexplainable in a different way. In the situation of Antikleia as mother of Odysseus, shows the bravity of a mother though it is in a wrong way, but still she showed her bravity.
The love of a mother is endless and it is always considered as a greatful love!

Bravery is when stands even until the end, facing her/ his fears and struggling to pass it all. Anticlea the mother of Odysseus, escapes life's grief by killing herself, and that doesn't make her brave woman.
I think Antikleia does show a bravery . She may felt that Odysseus cannot back and she lose his hope waiting for him.Still she show some manner of bravery due to things that mother did for her family.
Yesn Antikliea showed her bravery by commiting suicide just to know if his son already died.
I think that Antiklea post an image of bravery because not all of us can able to sacrifice oneself for the sake of our loved ones... What she did is a sign of bravery and this proves that she is a good mother.
For me she showed her bravery in every problem she faces. Because when the time that odysseus left their place she was brave enough facing all the doubts if odysseus was died or not. And also she commit suicide just to know if her son is died already.
Antikleia didn't showed how brave she is when it comes for being a mother for Odysseus. The strength she has was measured by the journey of his son.
Antikleia's mind and thoughts defeated her. She waited and waited. I think it is because of her age why she committed such suicide. She can't any longer resist the pain of waiting and just do nothing but to wait.
andromache is a brave woman in troy because even she see her husband hector fighting achilles she still the same strong because she know hector is just fighting for his country men.
For me, Antikleia a mother of oddysseus can be consider as a brave woman because she do it even inreturn her life and because of his bravery her son oddysseus go back to there land. All of us man and woman have the capacity to make a thing that it is very difficult even inreturn our life that why we can do it for the sake of our love ones.
Antiklea was the mother of Odysseus who got suicide because she believed that her son was already dead.
For me, Antiklea did not display bravery because if she do so why she ain't her life like that?!!
She must fight for what situation shes facing of. Committing suicide is cowardness. It sis a sign that you escape to problems, circumstances you will faced that needs your braveness. Heroes became hero because of their bravity they died with dignity and honor. We as ordinary people our struggle in life needs bravity or strong personality so that we will survive.

I cannot consider as a sign of bravery of what Antikleia did. For me, bravery is facing every battle in life. What Antikleia did was a sign of weakness. Killing herself was like quitting. Thus, it just appears that she had'nt been strong enough to face the fact that she make believe to herself that his son Odysseus is already dead.

I think Antikleia does not show bravery instead she show weaknesses because she lost hope to see her son alive.

Antikleia, as the mother of odysseus. Had shown her bravery through those days. But as we all know a woman's strength has a limit. and for me Antikleia did display a very great bravery to other.
Antikleia is brave also because she commit suicide to just see her son Odysseus,she is also brave because of all years of waiting nd her death has a purpose to be consider.

All of us have strength and weaknesses and most often difference.
For me, I can't consider what Antiklea did as a display of bravery because as what Bradley quoted that "bravery is the capacity to performed even when scared half to death," and that she must stay strong, optimistic enough that even if Odysseus unable to back home but for Penelope and for the other who believed in her.
As what she did during Odysseus voyage going to troy, giving strength to her beloved son, she herself must be firm and a example to the strength she given. It's just that in times of hardships and confusion that you think all are falling down and too late, just stand up with divine strength and say as prayer then believe that His(God Almighty)is for your best...

The situation of Antikleia is different from that of Penelope, Andromache & some other women who showed their bravery. She was waiting for her son Odysseus for a long period of time but still she failed because, who will really believe that a great warrior could still be alive after a long years of war without returning home again? Of course many would believe that, that certain man is already dead! Antikleia just committed suicide because she was very hopeless that her son can never return home again. It's not really bravery.
she is brave for an instant that she is concern about her son . And she felt so must pain about what was happening to odysseus during his voyage.and waiting for her son to got home.
Antiklea done is not bravery its because if she really brave she would face what has been happen. She would not kill her self and drown in the water.She would live her life to the fullest and she would not leave her family and will brave enough to face the reality.
The mother of Odysseus, Antikleia has been brave in raising Odysseus alone when her husband died. But her bravery doesn't last that long.
It caused her so much pain for waiting her son and even she's dead, she takes her part as a responsible mother to Odysseus.
I can't say its bravery for what had Antiklea done to herself.Drowning in the water is not the answer to her problem. If she is brave, she would face all the reality at that time. She would live her life to the full strength she could give...

I really appreciate the strength shown by the women mentioned on the movies. They really deserve a reward for their bravery. But on Antikleia's situation I do not consider that as a display of bravery. Doing suicide is not an answer to her loneliness and longing for her lost son. She must trust their gods as well and believed that his son will return.
Sermonia, Creslen Marie A.
MWF 2:00 - 3:00
For me, what Antikleia did was not bravery. She couldn't bare the sadness and hurt that she would not see her son Odysseus again. She killed herself by drowning herself in the ocean because she lost hope that her son would still come back after many years of not coming back to Ithaca. For me, that isn't what you call bravery. Bravery is being able to stand and hope over and over again, even if many people around you are putting you down all the time.
MWF 11-12pm.
I don't think what Antikleia did was a bravery,It was a shame that she have quited in waiting for her son,but the wife of her son still has hope for his coming that she as the mother can't do. If only she have waited for his son, she can still live with him for a long time.
For me, the mother of Odysseus, Antikleia consider as a brave mother. Even though she made mistake or suicide but it is the one way she can help his son can came back to their place.
We can say that majority of our parents can do everything for us in order to be safe.
We can do sacrificing in the name of our love one's.

I can say that all mother in this world are brave.
Why?because from the day they bear us in there womb for 9months they are brave enough to face the real world.They got strength to rise us and they take the risks when they were in pain during there labor.
Antiklea is a mother that eased the pain for her son.She is not a perfect mother.Its sad to say that her braveness already reach its limitation.
For me Braveness doesn't mean that you kill many people or you are the strongest person in this world.You are brave enough if you can eased the pain you feel inside and you can sacrifice for the happiness of your love.(:

Antikleia, the mother of Odysseus. .had been brave from all the things. She always do what is right from his son. ...She really possess the value of love as a mother.
she consider as brave woman for doing good to her son.

aNTEKleia was the mother of Oddyseus. As a mother she was brave enough by raising his son. She sacrificed her life inorder to see his son.,because I think that for her, His son Oddyseus was dead She waited 20 years., she was eager to see it, She felt misery and loneliness, she has taken her own life out of grief by the abscenes of his beloved son. in what she did it is not the measurement of being brave of revealing hier weakness by not seeing his son but She just actualy made her role as a mother. Not al the mothers will do that by sacrificing thier life. For me she display of bravery.
I can embarkly say that Antikleia( mother of Odysseus )is a brave one. The fact that she raised her son alone, I can truly manifest that she is brave. In reality, being a mother is never that easy for it requires a lot of sacrifices.
everyone do really have strenghts and weaknesses.and for me the act of Antikleia is still an act of bravery.
YES.I can consider what Antikleia did as bravery.As a mother,its really hard to let go your son to a dangerous adventure,yet she let it happen though she have all the authority to against as the mother of Odysseus.In some aspect, she had shown bravery in waiting,in hoping,and in beleiving that her son will be back safe and sound,.
Lamoste, Chielo P.

I'm not really impressed of what Antikleia did.Maybe because i don't find suicidal a measurement for bravery.
If I'm not mistaken,her death doesn't change the story, it never helps Odysseus to got home after the incident.It's much better if she just stayed with Penelope and her grandson Telemachus instead.

Yes! In the sense that she let her son go and fight in the Trojan War with a courageous and an optimistic attitude. . And no! For she commit suicide in the middle of waiting for her son to come back home. .

If we'll talk about the essence of her reason of what she did, I could say that she is brave enough. But if we just talk about the suicide alone that she had committed and regardless of her reason by doing it, I could say that she showed how coward she was for not waiting for his son to come back.

Antiklia, as the mother of Odysseus had been a great and a brave mother. She raise her son alone, for me it is a sacrifice for a mother to grow her child right.But she ended her life because of her impatient to wait her son.
Well I guess a parents can't survive if there child is not on there side because they miss them.
Ivy E. Divinagracia
As a mother she is brave to wait for the return of her son for many long years, but for me, when she ended her life, she show how coward she is. The women being mention in the two story really show braveness but Antikleia is defferent from them.
She can be consider coward solder just like what Paris did, run to Hector when Menelaus almost kill him.
She is not brave!!!!
Thats all!!!!

No,what Antikleia did is some kind of foolishness. She doesn't have patience to wait for the comeback of his son. She just waste the life that the God has given to her.

killing yourself is a great sin in God sight. Death is not the answer to any problem. But then Antikleia showed the unconditional love for his son. A mothers love is a greatest sacrifice by waiting for 20 years for her son to come back.
Nowadays, when women lost the person whose special to them they felt so grieve and sorrow, and feels that everything in this world had lost also. But to Antikleia(mother of Achilles)after all of many years of waiting to her son, her stone heart had been broken and had nothing more left to bleed. She's unstoppable by anyone and bravely went to the world of the dead. No one could ever do that but herself alone through her incomparable braveness. Therefore i consider Antikleia did an awesome bravery...

mothers love for her child is unconditional. but killing your self is a big sin in Gods eyes because only Almighty God can take you life. she had so much pain in waiting for his son to comeback, cause he wait for Odysseus for 20 years. but she still doing her part as a mother even if shes gone already.

Antikleia just show how weak she was. If she really wants to see her son Odysseus, she should have the patient to wait for the his son to come back. Maybe, in the other sense,we say that she is brave because of her courage and will to see his son again. But committing suicide as we all know is a big mistake. Indeed, it is one of the many ways we can escape from the problems we have now in our lives.

The women that was mentioned showed their own bravery in their own ways.
Antikleia, the mother of Odysseus, just showed her bravery when she waited for 20 years for Odysseus to be back. That seemed to be long span of time and it hurts a lot for a mother not seeing his son that long. Maybe that is the reason why she committed suicide. She sacrificed her life for her son thinking that Odysseus would not be back anymore. That is how a mother naturally loves her children.
bretaña,crizzel mea
well,,what Antikleia did is still a bravery for me,,,Because as all we know that within 20 years she show bravery through enduring and still believing that her son was still alive...she did not show any grieving when her son is still not there..imagine 20 years?its not that simple to lose your dearest son that long. .no assurance at all but still she stay strong, bit at the end she still get her life,maybe she lost hope 'coz her limit of enduring and waiting is just there, ,but Antikleia was still show bravery and Penelope witness that event..
