The correct answer as to how Margaret Atwood transforms source material in the Penelopiad is the second choice:

Once Odysseus has returned from his long voyage, his wife Penelope recognizes her husband immediately, although in Homer's version she does not. Atwood's The Penelopiad is a retelling of a classic ancient Greek epic poem Odyssey.
