Question where was Penelope born?
Answer Hello,
In Homer's Odyssey Penelope was the daughter of Icarius of Sparta and a first cousin of Helen of Troy, since her father Icarius was brother of Tyndareus, Spartan king, father of Helen.
So, Penelope as a daughter of Icarius of Sparta was born just in Sparta, also named Lacedaemon, a city-state of ancient Greece in the southeast Peloponnesus.
