Although we see these values, we must also recognize the tremendous
double standard between genders at play here. That Homer never
reproaches Odysseus for his extracurricular romances but condemns the
unfaithful women in the poem recalls Calypso’s angry statement about the
double standard for immortals: male gods are allowed to take mortal
lovers, while female goddesses are not. Likewise, men such as Odysseus
have some freedom to "wander" sexually during their geographical
wanderings -- so long as they are ultimately faithful to their home --
while Penelope and the other women in The Odyssey are chastised for
their lack of chastity. Indeed, Odysseus does remain true to Penelope in
his heart, and his desire to reunite with her drives his faithful
journey. Fidelity is also central at the end of the poem, when Odysseus
tests the loyalties of his servants and punishes those who have betrayed
him.
