	Eumaeus 1, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Eumaeus 1 used to take his meals and rest in a cabin, and was otherwise assisted by four labourers, one of which was Mesaulius, whom Eumaeus 1 had bought from the Taphian traders with his own resources.
		Eumaeus 1 was not first to deliver the message; for a messenger from Telemachus' crew had been sent running off to the palace, and conveyed it first.
		Eumaeus 1 and Odysseus arrived to the palace soon after the goatherd, and he who had been wandering for twenty years started to go the rounds and beg from each of the SUITORS in his own home.

	tScholars.com \| Eumaeus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In Greek mythology, Eumaeus, or Eumaios, was Odysseus' swineherd and friend before he left for the Trojan War.
		Eumaeus also welcomes Odysseus' son Telemachus when he returns from his voyage to Pylos and Sparta and Telemachus also does not recognize his father at first.
		In Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, the swineherd Gurth is referred to as "this second Eumaeus" after he and the jester discuss the unjust confiscation of livestock meat by Norman barons.

	Eumaeus
		When Odysseus returned home after his adventures, he was given a warm welcome by Eumaeus, although he did not recognized his lord.
		Odysseus later made himself known, and Eumaeus helped him to gain access to Penelope.
		Also in his revenge against Penelope's suitors, Odysseus was assisted by Eumaeus.

		Telemachus saw Eumaeus long before any one else did, and beckoned him to come and sit beside him; so he looked about and saw a seat lying near where the carver sat serving out their portions to the suitors; he picked it up, brought it to Telemachus's table, and sat down opposite him.
		Eumaeus and Ulysses, therefore, cannot have started later than eight or nine, and Eumaeus's words must be taken as an exaggeration for the purpose of making Ulysses bestir himself.

	The Language of "Sirens" and "Eumaeus" in James Joyce's Ulysses
		In the "Eumaeus" episode this narrative difficulty is taken much further: the language, very different from that of "Sirens," threatens to overwhelm and bury the narrative altogether.
		Objects as well as people have their names brought into question in "Eumaeus." Stephen’s coffee is "the cup of what was temporarily supposed to be called coffee" (360) or "his mug of coffee or whatever you like to call it" (1169); the roll is a "socalled roll." (366).
		If the language of "Eumaeus" is enervated, it is not merely to reflect the fatigue of the characters or a narrator but to reveal that language is tired and "old," used and reused so many times that it runs in grooves.

		To this you answered, O swineherd Eumaeus, "Poor unhappy stranger, I have found the story of your misfortunes extremely interesting, but that part about Ulysses is not right; and you will never get me to believe it.
		Eumaeus did not forget the gods, for he was a man of good principles, so the first thing he did was to cut bristles from the pig's face and throw them into the fire, praying to all the gods as he did so that Ulysses might return home again.

		Telemachus ran back to the armoury, and brought shields, spears and helmets to arm his father and Eumaeus and Philoetius, the two faithful servants who were standing by him; for though Odysseus had shot down the suitors in heaps, his stock of arrows was nearly expended.

		When they reached the House, the servant stood up and said to the queen in the presence of the waiting women, "Your son, Madam, is now returned from Pylos"; but Eumaeus went close up to Penelope, and said privately that her son had given bidden him tell her.

	DIDASKALIA: Ancient Theater Today
		As much as Eumaeus differs from Telemachus in age and status, he nonetheless resembles him in being cast primarily in the role of listener.
		Yet Eumaeus, like Telemachus, is a highly sympathetic character, loyal to the absent Odysseus and hospitable to the 'beggar.' The attention paid to his perspective, I suggest, may be an implicit appeal by the poet to the lower-class men in his own audience.
		Penelope is like Telemachus and Eumaeus in being explicitly cast in the role of listener, and in rejecting at least some of what she hears, both from Phemius and from the disguised Odysseus.

		To this you answered, O swineherd Eumaeus, "Stranger, though a still poorer man should come here, it would not be right for me to insult him, for all strangers and beggars are from Jove.
		Thus did they converse, and presently the swineherds came up with the pigs, which were then shut up for the night in their styes, and a tremendous squealing they made as they were being driven into them.
		Eumaeus did not forget the gods, for he was a man of good principles, so the first thing he did was to cut bristles from the pig's face and throw them into the fire, praying to all the gods as he did so that Ulysses might return home again.

	The end of the Odyssey
		Eumaeus broadens the appeal of the poem, which has positive characters among the poor as among the rich.
		I usually imagine Homer's audience as being made up mainly of aristocrats (and Eumaeus as the noble, happy servant would have appealed to them as well), but it is certainly possible that Homer, as a poet (and thus no aristocrat himself) was interested in pleasing folks other than the elite.
		Eumaeus' hospitality serves as a contrast with the rudeness of the suitors.

		Now Athene noted Eumaeus the swineherd pass from the steading, and she drew nigh in the semblance of a woman fair and tall, and skilled in splendid handiwork.

		Eumaeus becomes an important source of information for Odysseus; Odysseus also prompts him to talk about his master.
		Odysseus counter Eumaeus' pessimism with a confident prediction that he will return: a risky procedure, and Odysseus must not seem to certain.
