Melanthius
Odysseus instructs Eumaeus to secure Melanthius, the disloyal goatherd, and to treat him harshly for his betrayal. He emphasizes the need to punish Melanthius for his support of the suitors and for his disrespect toward Odysseus and his household. Eumaeus is to ensure that Melanthius does not escape and is dealt with severely, reflecting Odysseus's desire for justice and retribution upon reclaiming his home.
Melanthius' words create a disrespectful and scornful tone towards Eumaeus and the beggar, who Melanthius believes to be beneath him. His mocking and derogatory language conveys his disdain and superiority over them.
