<em>"The Odyssey"</em> is Homer's epic poem. Penelope is the wife of Odysseus and the mother of Telemachus. She is described as being very clever and beautiful.

<em> "An Ancient Gesture"</em> is a poem written by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

The correct answer is option B: <u>In Millay's poem, the speaker alludes to Penelope, but Penelope does not actually appear</u>. The allusion to the story of Penelope is filtered through the perspective of the speaker.
