The beasts or the sea for killing him
 * Who does Eumaeus blame for the assumed death of Odysseus?(Maddy) **


 * What “prediction” does Odysseus give Eumaeus? **

He swore that Odysseus would come back to Ithaca.

Odysseus starts with telling Eumaeus that he is from Crete, son of a rich man. He said that when his father died his fathers estate was split up between his brothers and him, but he lost it all and is currently fighting battles with his enemies. Odysseus had good men to ambush and attack enemies, like Troy, but he suffered a safe but sometimes dangerous and upsetting the gods, long way back home. He suffered from attack, and even when people showed him hospitality other men would put him into even worse of misery like when he was made slave but he easily escaped from that.
 * Briefly summarize the story Odysseus tells Eumaeus to explain where he is from. **


 * Whom does he tell Eumaeus that he encountered on his travels? **

Lord Phedion, King pf the Thesprotians

He says that Eumaeus can call some men to throw him over a precipice (cliff) if he is lying.
 * What does Odysseus say that Eumaeus can do to him if he is lying?**

That one time a man forgot his cloak on the ship that was very far away from where Odysseus' crew and himself were resting, it was very cold so Odysseus told his crew for someone to send reinforcements to him from Agamemnon. Lucky enough some man jumped up and was on his way to Agamemnon, and he left his cloak there so the man that didn't have one had one for the night.
 * What story does Odysseus tell about the war?**


 * Why is Odysseus pleased with Eumaeus’ decision to sleep outside? **

Because he had so much dedication to protecting his masters boars and set up spears to wart off men and dogs
