Do you remember Odyssey’s adventures? Homer wrote two novels about them, The Iliad and Odyssey. In The Iliad he wrote about the last year of the war when the Greeks made the Troyan Horse in which the Greeks warriors hid upon Odyssey’s suggestion (I have made a picture earlier about this topic) and they brought thus the destiny to the enemy. Odyssey, the novel is the continuation of The Iliad presenting us the ten years of Odyssey’s wandering. But what happened to Pénelopé during this time? Margaret Atwood wrote a novel about the story (I suggest to read it) and a very good screen-play was made as well. We had the opportunity to see this piece in the arrangement of Zoltan Balazs stage director in the Mettrin Theatre on the shore of the wonderful Sea of Bank. Could you manage it I propose to go there and see the play. It is laid in the underworld and presents Pénelopé talking about her story. It was the tragic fate of her twelve maidservant what really touched me. The vengeance of the returning home Odyssey touches not only the young men aspiring for Pénelopé but the terrible death of hanging would wait for the maidservants as well.  This is only a small episode in the story but this was what caught me. How much is the life of a man or woman worth? The choice I made when looking for stamps was to left to chance either. The ladies’ head was made if stamps featuring butterflies. Ugly caterpillars transform into wonderful butterflies; they flitter around for a while from flower too flower until death catches them.
