Why Penelope?

Penelope, the wife of Odysseus in Homer’s The Odyssey, was known as the Greek Goddess of Weaving. With her husband off fighting the Trojan War, Penelope hoped for his return and delayed her various suitors by engaging in weaving a funeral canopy for her father-in-law, Laertes.

During the day she would weave and every night undo the day’s weaving, thus delaying the need to make a decision. This is the famous Penelope’s Web, used as the proverbial expression for anything that is perpetually in progress but never completed.
