1. Penelope

   In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope is the faithful wife of Odysseus, who keeps her suitors at bay in his long absence and is eventually reunited with him. Her name has traditionally been associated with marital faithfulness, and so it was with the Greeks and Romans, but some recent feminist readings offer a more ambiguous interpretation.

Examples of PENELOPE in a Sentence

1. Ben Stiller:

   Ben Stiller said of Chanel's creative director. It breaks my heart. Maybe if we ever do another. WATCH : Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson Walk the Valentino Runway as Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- and Hansel Marc Jacobs, however, was more than happy to play Hansel Marc Jacobs in the comedy. I was thrilled to say yes to Ben Stiller, i thought the first one was hilarious. The Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- franchise, which debuted in theaters 15 years ago, is special for Ben Stiller, whoprefers the daft model to reamin a part of Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- legacy over Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- other on-screen, persona, Greg Focker inMeet the Parents. I ’d much rather have somebody say, ‘ Hey, Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB-, ’ than ‘ Hey, Greg Focker,' he quipped. MORE : Justin Theroux Responds to Zoolander 2 Transphobia Controversy --' It Hurts My Feelings' The director/actor also revealed how he came up with the character's iconic Blue Steel pose. That look came out of me in the mirror at home, when I brush my hair or whatever, Ben Stiller recalled. I guess with the selfie culture, it’s just a natural extension. Did I have any idea that it would live on ? No. Although Ben Stiller and Penelope Cruz is new to the Zoolander world but has always been a fan of the comedy.
