     summary: When Eumæus had entered the house, Odysseus lingered awhile, gazing sadly at the faithful Argus. Peiræus readily undertook the charge, and this point being settled they thrust out from the shore and rowed away in the direction of the harbour, while Telemachus strode off with rapid footsteps along the path which led to the swineherd's hut. II On the evening before the arrival of Telemachus Odysseus was sitting after supper with Eumæus and the other herdsmen, and wishing to learn the purpose of Eumæus towards him he said: I will no longer be a burden to thee and thy fellows.

     summary: Still clashed the grappling hosts, Man slaying man: aye bloodier waxed the fray As rained the blows: corpse upon corpse was flung Confusedly, like thunder-drops, or flakes Of snow, or hailstones, by the wintry blast At Zeus' behest strewn over the long hills And forest-boughs; so by a pitiless doom Slain, friends with foes in heaps on heaps were strown. So man slew man in fight; but more than all Eurypylus hurled doom on many a foe.

     summary: _Flaith_ seems clearly to mean land-owners, or squires, says Sir James Ramsay. Mr. Monro writes, _doma_ usually means _megaron_, and he supposes a slip from another reading, _thalamon_ for _megaron_, which is not satisfactory.
