The Odyssey- books 14 and 15

This book is about when Odysseus comes back and visits Emmuaus disguised as an old begger. Eummeaus is a very kind and hospitable man. He takes Odysseus in and goes over the top to make sure he is comfortable, even though he has no idea who he is. Also Emmaeus has nothing but good to say about his days with Odysseus as his master. This implies that Odysseus was a very good master, and treated his men well. When Odysseus tells him about his belief that his master (odysseus) is stil alive, He refusess to hear any of it, saying that he has seen to many men making up stories about Odysseus to get some sort of compensation from Penelope in exchange for their news. Odyeesus tells him a tale about his travels and the places and sites he has seen
