Weaving in "The Odyssey"

I think weaving had a very interesting part in The Odyssey. There were multiple occasions where women were weaving in the book, but one in particular really stood out to me. I thought a really important example was when Telemachus said to his mother, "You should go back upstairs and take care of your work, spinning and weaving, and have the maids do theirs." I think this example really shows how the women really were meant to do household things as a stereotypical woman would. Another example was when Penelope told the suitors she would marry them when she was done weaving a robe. "Everyday she would weave at the great loom, and every night she would unleavened by torchlight." I think this example really conveys again, how one of their main jobs was to do what a typical women would and just wait around the house and let the man do all of the really important powerful things.
