Dante's Divine Comedy is considered to be a comedy and not a tragedy for several reasons. The most important one is that it ends happily - the protagonist goes through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and finally comes into Heaven (Paradiso) in the end. Tragedies are characterized by tragic and sad endings - usually with some characters dying. This is not the case in Divine Comedy - the protagonist manages to enter Heaven and finally understand the meaning of life. 
Additionally, Dante named his work Comedy in order to show everyone that comedies don't have to be written using low style only (tragedies were always considered something elitist, using high style difficult to understand). He wrote Divine Comedy using elevated, sophisticated language in order to show it can be done.

How are odysseus and his wife penelope finally reunited?
VladimirAG [237]

Penelope basically tells the suitors that the man who can string the bow and shoot an arrow through 12 axe heads will win her hand and marriage. So disguised as a beggar  Odysseus successfully strings the bow and grabs an arrow and shoots it straight through 12 axe heads. Eventually he makes his way back to Penelope but she isn’t convinced is really him. So she tells him that he can sleep outside her room on the bed on the bed that Odysseus carved. Oddysseus snapped and asked her who moved the his bed that was carved straight from the roots of a olive tree that the room was built around. Penelope knew that only he would have known about the bed so she instantly knew it was him.
