Penelope & Helen — Two Faces of the Feminine, Two Dynamics of Power

Figure: Penelope and Helen

There are those we look at and those who hold the loom. In the grand tapestry of Greek myths, Penelope and Helen are often reduced to secondary roles: one as the faithful wife, the other as the cause of war. If we truly listen to them, they have much to say to any leader, man or woman, who seeks to understand silent power and projected power.
