Homer's the Odyssey parallels a Man's Voyage through life.
Identifying the Four Types of Women a man will meet.
Very much so like Four archetypes; roughly, loosely; as all human beings are Slightly different. There’s some nuance involved.
As a man, if you live a Full live, women will mirror you anyway, as all humans are characters in each other’s stories of their lifes; we are all foils for one another.
That is perhaps the greatest narrative device; and or the only; Some kind of greater and darker and more meaningful ontological and philosophical and teleological engine to drive us forth.
Siren: The Sabotrice
Most people in life are a distraction; therefore, most women are. Most. You are a man. Captain of your ship. You are on a voyage, HOME. There were your destiny beckons. The Siren is the type that Sounds good, entice you, seduce, and you will ruin your life.
You get the pleasure of indulgence. But the cost is steep. The magnetic lure makes you crash against the rocks, and capsize, abandon ship. Aka you will be forced to abandon your destined mission. Just because The Siren seemed beautiful.
Circe: The Witch
Circe means well, and wants to hold the King on her island with her spells. However, all his brothers are turned to pig. This is the kind - either you do it or you are charmed — that makes you forget about your brothers. We all know the type of women.
We all know the type of guy that falls for this. And even if The Witch's home is charming, it is not the King's rightful destination, and final resting place. Not where he belongs. Don't fall for spells, and charms, only heed to sound of your throne.
Calypso: The Immortal Nymph
Very similar to The Witch, only this nymph promises the King immortality. Aka the false dream. The unrightful dream. The thing he think he wants, but isn't supposed to have. The king is supposed to go home, with his queen, with his family.
The king is supposed to sit on the throne, and rule. He's supposed to preach the lessons he fought for in war. He's supposed to be mortal, and have a legacy, and die. Only through mortal means, that's how he obtains ummortality. Not through fairy lies, whimsical dream murmurs.
Penelope: Your Queen
The ever faithful wife, mother and queen waiting at home. Waiting for you to come home, return to her side. Fending off ALL suitors with her scheme. Upholding her pious nature, fidelity, and loyalty. This enrapturing conconction of traits is the vision.

A Triptych of Torment: Tantalus (I)
A triptych (/ˈtrɪptɪk/ TRIP-tik; from the Greek adjective τρίπτυχον (tríptychon, "three-fold"), from tri- "three" and ptyssō "to fold" or ptyx "fold")is a work of art (usually a panel painting) that is divided into three sections, or three carved panels that are hinged together and can be folded shut or displayed open. It is therefore a type of polyptych, the term for all multi-panel works. The middle panel is typically the largest and it is flanked by two smaller related works, although there are triptychs of equal-sized panels.
