There's no pep, Lee, in the weird wife waiting for Odysseus (8)

I believe the answer is:

penelope

(Other definitions for penelope that I've seen before include "Ulysses' faithful wife" , "Wife of Odysseus or Ulysses" , "lady" , "Odysseus's wife" , "Girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
