		Euryclea did as she was told, and bolted the women inside their room.
		As soon as Euryclea had got the scarred limb in her hands and had well hold of it, she recognized it and dropped the foot at once.
		As he said this Euryclea left the cloister to fetch some more water, for the first had been all spilt; and when she had washed him and anointed him with oil, Ulysses drew his seat nearer to the fire to warm himself, and hid the scar under his rags.

	Auerbach's Odysseus' Scar
		Euryclea busies herself fetching water and mixing cold with hot, meanwhile speaking sadly of her absent master, who is probably of the same age as the guest, and who perhaps, like the guest, is even now wandering somewhere, a stranger; and she remarks how astonishingly like him the guest looks.
		No sooner has the old woman touched the scar than, in her joyous surprise, she lets Odysseus’; foot drop into the basin; the water spills over, she is about to cry out her joy; Odysseus restrains her with whispered threats and endearments; she recovers herself and conceals her emotion.
		The interruption, which comes just at the point when the housekeeper recognizes the scar—that is, at the moment of crisis—describes the origin of the scar, a hunting accident which occurred in Odysseus’; boyhood, at a boar hunt, during the time of his visit to his grandfather Autolycus.

		Such a change, at first sight, may appear inconsistent, but the skillful and gradual manner in which it is managed by the poet renders it perfectly natural.
		Euryclea is a model nurse ; she continues the same attention to Telemachus when he is a youth which she paid him in infancy; nor is her kindness unreturned by her foster-child, for she it is to whom he applies in his difficulty, when a ship is refused him by the suitors.
		The elegant and unaffected simplicity of Nausicaa is most charming ; and the noble swineherd Eumaeus, the keeper of the king's swine, the principal wealth of his rocky isle, presents an inimitable picture of that sturdy, yeoman-like independence which is fostered and nurtured by the pursuits of rural life.
