Emily Wilson in her preface says that the Odyssey shows signs of/nods to earlier versions where Penelope did recognize Odysseus and/or was in on the plan. If the reviews of The Return are anything to go buy, in that film she totally recognizes him (but doesn‘t let him known she recognizes him, since he doesn‘t tell her).
This makes a lot of sense, particularly of the next chapters (which I've now read). I like it. I also need to check out The Return, clearly...
