The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.
I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:
We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.
Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?
It ain’t Kermit
"Who stabbed you in the eye, Polyphemus?" "Moi! Moi stabbed me!" "He stabbed himself. Sad."

Kermit's got all of the suitors convinced that entering the competitions multiple times under multiple names will increase their chances of winning, so the "meanwhile, back in Ithaca" scenes are a montage of the humans constructing elaborate false identities (with props) to compete again and again and again.
Some of them may or may not be references to previous roles the actors have played.
