Odysseus tests Eumaeus, his loyal swineherd, by disguising himself as a beggar upon his return to Ithaca. He observes Eumaeus’s reaction to his story of hardship and his treatment as a stranger. Eumaeus displays kindness and loyalty, offering hospitality without recognizing Odysseus, which reaffirms the deep bond of loyalty and respect between them. This test highlights Eumaeus's character and loyalty, setting the stage for their reunion.
When Odysseus returns to Ithaca, the first person he visits is his swineherd, Eumaeus. Eumaeus is a loyal servant who has faithfully cared for Odysseus's estate during his absence. This visit allows Odysseus to gather information about the situation at home and to test Eumaeus's loyalty before revealing his identity.
Odysseus returns to the island of Ithaca to hear that his house was plagued with many suitors, demanding Penelope in marriage. Therefore, he disguises himself as a beggar, and enters the estate. He enters the hut of the swineherd, Eumaeus, one of the few honest servants left on his kingdom. He still has no idea who Odysseus is, and meanwhile Telemachus approaches. He, Odysseus' son, has been gone from Ithaca for a year, and came back when Athena warned him about the suitors. When they meet, Telemachus too has no idea who Odysseus is. When Athena reveals his identity, Telemachus and Odysseus weep and embrace each other. After that, Telemachus, the swineherd and Odysseus meet Penelope, who embraces Telemachus Odysseus' old dog is the only one in the hall who recognizes him, and Penelope, after hearing the beggar has news about Odysseus, wants to learn more. During a late night chat between the two, Penelope orders Eurycleia to wash Odysseus' feet-a sign of respect-for the beggar had brought news that Odysseus was coming home now. However, Eurycleia recognizes Odysseus, and he quickly swears her to secrecy. The next day, Penelope decides to test the suitors by handing them Odysseus' massive bow. Many try to string it, but not a single one can't. While this progresses, Odysseus has sneaked out and followed the swineherd and the cowherd. When he reveals his identity, both men embrace him, but he quickly tells him a plan he had thought of. Odysseus enters the hall where the suitors are being attempted. The suitors complain, but Penelope allows him to test himself (Penelope still does not know his identity). The swineherd and cowherd removed Penelope and the maids from the hall, and previously Telemachus stripped the room of arms. For brevity, all four of them slay the suitors and kill the unfaithful servants. After that, Odysseus' identity is revealed Penelope. Suspecting a trick, she decides to test Odysseus. I tried to be as concise as possible, I hope you got the important facts over this.

Odysseus first goes to Eumaeus' hut to gather information and assess the situation in Ithaca before confronting the suitors at his palace. Eumaeus, as a loyal swineherd, provides a safe haven and a trusted ally for Odysseus, allowing him to formulate a plan to reclaim his home. Additionally, visiting Eumaeus enables Odysseus to test the loyalty of those around him and to gather support for his eventual return to power. This strategic approach ensures that he is better prepared for the challenges that await him at the palace.

A statement that is not true about Odysseus's bow is that it was easily strung by anyone. In "The Odyssey," only Odysseus possesses the strength and skill to string his bow, which serves as a test of identity and rightful kingship. The bow symbolizes his unique heroic qualities, and the challenge of stringing it underscores the themes of loyalty and rightful leadership.
Odysseus chooses not to reveal his identity to his wife Penelope because he wants to test her loyalty and see if she truly believes he is still alive. He also wants to assess the situation in the palace and determine who he can trust before revealing himself as Odysseus.
Although the reasons are not explicitly given, by appearing as a traveler, uninvested in the troubles, Eumaeus is more likely to be honest with Odysseus. Odysseus wishes to test Eumaeus' loyalty as Odysseus does not know if Eumaeus is loyal until much later. Odysseus wishes to keep his secret, and telling one person will make his plans less likely to succeed. Further, there is no real benefit to telling Eumaeus when he first meets him.
