I have no idea where to post this, or if it already posted...it probably is, and if anyone has a link, I would really appreciate it...but...

I was thinking about Penelope, and isn't that the name of Odydeus's wife in the Odyssey by Homer? And that character like, waited ten years for Odysseus to come back, right? Well, I think that in "Flashes..." we determined that Desmondhad left Penny 6 years ago, so does that give us some kind of clue as to how much longer the Losties are gonna be on the island? And Odysseus had to, like, kill all of Penelope's suitors in the Odyssey too...maybe another flashback will show her w/ another man???
Anyway, I just wanted to discuss the significance of Penny's name, 'cause TPTB never name tese people by accident...
Any thoughs or links?

I'm sure this has been discussed, although I personally haven't come across it yet (thanks!).

Here's a link to Penelope's thread:

I'm not sure it's been discussed either. Why don't you try our search capabilities? Something like, "Odyssey by Homer", or variations on that theme. Also, you might take a look at our Official List of Literature etc... (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16085) You might find something there as well. :)
