  Penelopeia was clever and loyal and waited for her husband but was also the cause of chaos in his house; Eurycleia cared for Odysseus and his family like they were her own; and Athena guided Odysseus and Telemachos through all of their trials.
  Penelopeia was clever as well as attractive and besides had a rich father and husband, so when everyone thought that Odysseus was lost for good it was no surprise that suitors came to call on her.
  Of course, these were not exactly character defects in Penelopeia; the time and place of the story had very strict and sexist rules that made it so that women had little to no rights or power.

“Penelopeia: The Other Journey” is a project that links 15 Greek women artists with one female artist each from the present 15 EU member countries.
“Penelopeia” suggests that we view the Odyssey through the eyes of its female character, through the eyes of the “other.” By analogy, it proposes that we look at contemporary art through the eyes of women artists, who have long been marginalized as the “other” in art history.
This is a goal that probably stems from Kosmidou’s training in international relations and cultural communication, the fields she has studied along with architecture and photography.
