		Eumaios in return says that he would much rather give to a poor beggar than the greedy suitors that give no thought to their standing with the Gods but only the plunder of his old master’s home.
		Eumaios tells him of all the travelers that have come with false tales of Odysseus, his master, and of Penelope’s tears upon hearing them.
		Eumaios, moved by the tale sets up the bed for Odysseus and lends his spare cloak to him.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Odyssey Study Guide
		Eumaios, who hates the suitors and misses Odysseus dearly, tells him that the suitors are going to ambush Telemakhos upon his return.
		Eumaios then relates his life story: abducted by pirates, Laertes purchased him, and Odysseus' mother raised him as if he were her own son.
		Eumaios returns to his hut and tells Telemakhos and the "beggar" that the messenger already gave word to Penelope about her son's return.

		He tells Eumaios that he grew up in Crete, went to Troy for the Trojan War, returned to Crete afterward and traveled to raid Egypt, where he was captured by Egyptians.
		He had told Eumaios that he was the son of Kastor Hylakides, but he told Penelope that he was a prince, the son of King Idomeneus of Crete.
		Eumaios’ dogs are the only other canines we see in Ithaca, and because of the long time period during which Odysseus was away, they probably never knew him.

		Eumaios then goes on and on and on about his plight, emphasizing again and again that a) he misses Odysseus and b) he wishes the suitors would leave his lovely piggies alone, for they are utterly consuming his presumably deceased master’s estate.
		So Eumaios commands that his best pig be killed and cooked for the stranger’s supper, because he is extremely generous, and he commands that the pig’s face bristles first be cast into the fire, because he is deeply pious, and the gods are made gladdened thereby, because they are profoundly psychotic.
		While Odysseus sleeps, Eumaios keeps a lonely vigil, making sure that no one but no one will mess with the master’s pigs, unless it should be one of a few hundred young male suitors, in which case the pig will be handed over immediately for slaughter.

	7: Homer: Return of Odysseus
		Eumaios and the suitors are contrasted as nonbelievers.
		Eumaios (the "good man") does not recognize Odysseus, but nevertheless he is hospitable in sharing dinner generously, in the spirit of Phaeacian King Alkinoos (the "right mind"), and he speaks kindly of Odysseus.
		Eumaios is a slave, but the suitors are aristocrats, perhaps suggesting that hero religion (like Christianity later on) was popular among the lower classes.

		Eumaios sprang to his feet, and the bowls in which he was mixing wine fell from his hands, as he made towards his master.
		This servant and Eumaios happened to meet when they were both on the same errand of going to tell Penelope.
		When they reached the House, the servant stood up and said to the queen in the presence of the waiting women, "Your son, my lady, is now returned from Pylos"; but Eumaios went close up to Penelope, and said privately that her son had given bidden him tell her.

	Barron's Booknotes-The Odyssey by Homer - Free Literature Summaries/Booknotes from PinkMonkey.com
		NOTE: Homer has a special tenderness for Eumaios and breaks out of the narrative voice to address him directly-"O my swineherd!"- as though the swineherd were sitting next to him or as though the memory of the swineherd overcomes him with emotion.
		The irony of the scene becomes intense when the "beggar" says, "your lord is now at hand." Finally Eumaios asks who Odysseus is, and he is told a long, false story, though it does contain two factual details-going to Troy and seizing the mast in a shipwreck.
		Eumaios doesn't agree to the deal-how would it look if one day he offered the stranger hospitality, and the next day he dumped him off a cliff?

	Odyssey, Scroll XIV
		But Eumaios called to his men and said, "Bring in the best pig you have, that I may sacrifice for this stranger, and we will take toll of him ourselves.
		Eumaios 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 Odysseus might return home again.
		It poured without ceasing, and the wind blew strong from the West, which is a wet quarter, so Odysseus thought he would see whether Eumaios, in the excellent care he took of him, would take off his own cloak and give it him, or make one of his men give him one.

	Notes Odyssey 13-18
		Also Eumaios, with his extremely well organized pig-farm, is a symbol of the kind of order that the suitors are trying to destroy.
		And Odysseus, wily Odysseus, tells Eumaios a lying story that is very much like Eumaios' own - (they both were kidnapped) - which of course Odysseus knows, and he tells this story in such a way so that Eumaios will be more sympathetic, feel this beggar is a kindred spirit.
		As Telemachus gives Eumaios instructions about informing his mother about his return, Athena gives a signal seen by Odysseus alone for him to come outside, where she transforms him back into his old self.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 04.03.10
		To cite but one example, in order to gauge "statistically" the degree of poetic innovation in the 117 lines which, Reece judges, touch most directly on Eumaios' hospitality (xiv.5-82, 418-56), he arbitrarily selects for comparison another 118 Homeric verses (only 47 of them from the Odyssey!) having to do with similar subjects.
		In his discussion of Eumaios' hospitality, for example, Reece fails to cite either of the two most important recent studies of the question, Rose in Phoenix 1980 and Roisman in ICS 1990.
		In connection with Polyphemos, he does know Newton in CW 1983, Austin in Approaches to Homer (1983), Friedrich in GRBS 1987 and JHS 1991, or Peradotto, Man in the Middle Voice (1991), to cite only references which come immediately to mind.

		So then Telemachos pop his head inside and the swineherd jumps up and embraces him weeping, for the man loves Telemachos as his own son, albeit a son who has him live a mile away in a wooden hut surrounded by pigs and who rarely visits.
		From now on it's goddamn 'dawn' and goddamn 'he said.' You got that?" "Hey, you take it up with the union, pal.") Meanwhile, Athena is watching all this happen, and after Eumaios leaves, she sneaks into the doorway of the hut all invisible so only Odysseus can see her.
		Meanwhile, Eumaios goes to Penelope and tells her that her son has returned from Pylos safely.

	Eileen Gillooly - Class Resources
		When asked, "Who are you?" on Ithaka, Odysseus gives five false stories [to Athene (13: 256-286); Eumaios (14: 191-359), the suitors (17: 419-444), Penelope (19: 165-202), and Laertes (24: 302-08)].
		As we discussed, and as Athene points out (13: 291-95), deception, craftiness, metis, is a character trait of Odysseus that sometimes seems to get the better of him (think about his behavior with Laertes).
		Remember that Eumaios was reared in Laertes's household along with Odysseus's sister.
