the royal court of Ithaca after the Trojan War, as seen through the eyes of a young serving girl. Queen Penelope is besieged by suitors eager to claim the kingship of Ithaca; Odysseus, her husband, has been away for 19 years. Her clever attempt to stall them by spending years weaving and unraveling the same piece of cloth is exposed by the daughter of Kleea, her companion. Kleea's granddaughter, Aleta, is ashamed of her drunken, traitorous mother; a portion of the tale deals with the girl's efforts to cope with these feelings. In the meantime, Prince Telemachus sets out to find his father. Parts of Odysseus's adventures are woven smoothly into the narrative, providing historical background for the action.

Overview
Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, Aleta relates the feats of women whose stories equal the drama of that great epic. Queen Penelope, left in charge when Odysseus went to fight at Troy, must outwit the traitors in her court. Twelve-year-old Aleta finds a way to help.
Homer's characters and events in his "Odyssey" are starting point for this story. Aleta, 12 year-old granddaughter of Queen Penelope's faithful servant Kleea, is one of the Queen's few trustworthy allies.
