"She's upset you," the queen said gently. "We can't be having that. Not another word, now. Lord Baelish will see that Jeyne's well taken care of, I promise you."

Sansa Stark: an odyssey of the mind & soul.

Odysseus is a king who is at Troy for ten years and fights to return home for another ten years.

Sansa Stark is a lady turned princess of the north (who will become queen) that is in the south for nearly two years and struggles to return home for just as long.

However, whereas Odysseus is an aggressor in Troy, Sansa is a victim.

Whereas Odysseus's physique is of great asset to him in his journey back home, Sansa's greatest asset is her inner strength.

And despite their differences, both Odysseus and Sansa share the traits of intelligence and wit.

Also, both Sansa and Odysseus are held captive at some point in their journey back home by an older person who sexually assaults them, kept in a gilded cage.

Calypso keeps Odysseus on her lush island, away from his home. Odysseus never gives in to calypso, always yearning for his home and Penelope.

Littlefinger keeps Sansa in the Vale, away from her home. But despite everything, Sansa never gives in to him, always staying in touch with her Stark roots and even drawing strength from her home, Winterfell.

Both escape their respective captives in the end.

Odysseus ultimately returned home and reunited with his wife and son, and rid his home of unwanted suitors
