Eumaeus receives him generously, discussing at length affairs at home, and despairing of Odysseus' return. Odysseus again develops an elaborate lie, offering false information about Odysseus at Thesprotia; Eumaeus does not believe the tale. Odysseus wins a cloak with a story about Troy and retires to bed.
