Why does Odysseus hide his true identity from his old servant Eumaeus?

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.
