Answer:
Louis “Louie” Zamperini The son of Italian immigrants, Louie grew up in Torrance, California. He became an Olympic runner and military aviator in WWII. He survived being lost at sea and years of horrific abuse as a POW in Japan. After the war, he returned to California, where he married and raised a family. He struggled with alcoholism and PTSD until a religious conversion helped him to recover. He lived into old age, running a nonprofit organization and traveling worldwide as an inspirational speaker.
Pete Zamperini Louie’s older brother. In high school, Pete was an avid athlete. He helped rescue Louie from juvenile delinquency by forcing his little brother to join the high school track team. During WWII, Pete served stateside as a navy training officer. After WWII, he had a long, successful career as a football and track coach in California. He married, raised three children, and lived to be 92.
Russell Allen “Phil” Phillips The pilot on Louie’s bomber crew in WWII and one of Louie’s best friends in the army, Phil was captured with Louie by Japanese forces and enslaved in POW camps. He was liberated at the war’s end and returned to America, where he married Cecile “Cecy” Perry and became a high school
Mutsuhiro “The Bird” Watanabe A psychopathic, mentally unstable guard given free reign over POWs as the Omori POW camp’s designated “disciplinary officer.” A sadist who freely admitted that beating prisoners aroused him sexually, Watanabe administered crippling punishments on a whim, delighting in devising new ways to degrade and torture the prisoners. After WWII, Watanabe went into hiding until the United States finalized amnesty for all war criminals. In postwar Japan, he made millions as a business owner, married, had children, and lived comfortably until his death in old age.

I believe that Penelope devised the contest with the bow and arrows in order to buy both herself and Odysseus more time. He was gone for a long time, but she kept believing he would return to her and they would be happy again. However, he was gone for more than 10 years, and many suitors now came to Ithaca in order to marry Penelope and rule there. She obviously didn't want that, so she created this contest knowing that nobody could win it besides Odysseus who is the best archer ever. What it reveals about her is her absolute faithfulness and devotion to her husband whom she hasn't seen in over a decade.
