EV Rieu
Eumaeus has a keen sense of right and wrong, piety and generosity to beggar. Eumaeus and Eurycleia represent order in a palace dominated by disorder.

Jenkyns
Odyssey gives prominence to slaves and beggars. Recognition scenes involve Eumaeus, Philoetius, Eurycleia and even a dog. Eumaeus and Phil described as leaders of men, Eumaeus a noble swineherd.

For slaves who prove themselves to be worthy trusted response is warmly emotional - Eurycleia calls Odysseus her child, Telemachus and Eumaeus. Slaves not the worst off as they can own money and property.
