Best Answer

Odysseus' dog Argus, and his nursemaid Euryclea recognize Odysseus without him revealing himself to them.

Odysseus reveals himself to Telemachus in Eumaeus' home.

Later on before the battle with the suitors, he reveals himself to Eumaeus the swineherd, Philoetius the cow herd, and a stockman.

After stringing his bow and shooting through the 12 axe handles and Antinous' throat, he reveals himself to the suitors who then recognize him.

Finally, Odysseus reveals himself to Penelope, who eventually believes that it is him.

Who recognized Odysseus despite his rags when he returns to his kingdom?

When Odysseus first returned home to Ithaca, the only person who recognized him was his old nurse, Eurycleia. She was able to recognize Odysseus by a scar he had received as a child from a boar's tusk. She saw the scar when she was washing Odysseus's feet and nearly told Penelope that Odysseus was there, but he stopped her. In addition, his dog also recognized his master Odysseus and then died.
