Odysseus is disguised as a beggar, and thus no one recognizes him.
As Odysseus approached the city of Ithaca, Athene appeared to him in the guise of a young shepherd. She reassured him and offered guidance, helping him devise a plan to reclaim his home and confront the suitors who had taken over his palace. Her presence emphasized her role as a protective goddess and a source of wisdom for Odysseus in his time of need.

Some examples of Odysseus's intelligence include devising the plan of the Trojan Horse to enter Troy, outwitting Polyphemus by blinding him and escaping his cave, and disguising himself as a beggar upon returning to Ithaca to secretly observe the suitors in his palace.
Eumaeus acts as a father figure to Telemachus during Odysseus' absence. He stays loyal to Odysseus, and when he meets Odysseus as a beggar, allows him to stay at his house. Further he tells Odysseus about what has been going on since Odysseus left, including the suitors and his dog Argus. He helps Odysseus enter the palace as a beggar. Later on, he brings Odysseus the bow so that he can string it. At Odysseus' command, he also tells Eurycleia to lock all the doors and warn the women not to come out. Finally during the fight, he helps Odysseus fight the suitors. He captures Melanthius the goatherd supplying arms to the suitors, and strings Melanthius up. During the part where the party throws their spears, he kills Elatus in the first volley, and Polybus in the second volley. All of Odysseus' party then finish off the suitors, and it is assumed Eumaeus kills several other men who are not named. More minor acts: Later he helps kill Melanthius. Eumaeus also temporarily takes Odysseus armor before Odysseus goes to visit his father Laertes. Eumaeus also helps prepare dinner that night, before the fight with the suitor's families.
