Goodreads asked Ibrahim S. Amin:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Ibrahim S. Amin Odysseus and Penelope. Everyone remembers Odysseus lying and scheming his way back home to Ithaca, but we often forget that Penelope had cunning of her own -- as demonstrated by the trick she pulled with her weaving (undoing the work in secret each night, as a delaying tactic). The two of them aren't shown together that much during the poem, but I've always enjoyed the hint that they were kindred spirits in the "many ways" (to use the Homeric expression).
