The Hanging of the Maids
Main event: Due to Penelope's miscommunication,
Odysseus wrongfully orders Telemachus to kill all the
'disloyal' maids. As a result, the maids haunt
Odysseus for the rest of eternity, disappointed in his
irrational and unjust actions. They alone can
symbolize the discriminatory pressures towards women
in ancient times.

the ones you killed
the ones you failed" - The Maids
