Abstract
Every reader of the Odyssey shares something with the members of the first audience to hear the great tale. Every one has a mother. Also, most people in both groups will either have a wife, or be someone's wife. It is this overwhelming majority to which Homer speaks through one of the themes of the Odyssey. From the beginning of the epic to its end, the reader sees both Homer's ideal for betrothed women and his view on the drastic consequences that this ideal effects.
