Eumelos

“‘Just consider the fact that he has no wife,’ Anchises said. ‘Yes—you women don’t suspect what that means to a man. That he has to force slave women to sleep with him. That he can smell you gloating. Oh yes, a man like that can smell what’s going on around him. After all, he’s after the same thing as the rest of us, he only wants to get back to where he had it good once: under your skirts. You won’t let him in. So he takes revenge, it’s as simple as that. A bit of responsiveness from your lot and who knows, he might be cured.’” (Pg. 91)

“What has his name? Eumelos? ‘Yes,’ said Priam. ‘A capable man.’

“What? Who had forbidden that! ‘Eumelos,’ I heard. Eumelos? Who is Eumelos? Oh yes, that man in the council who was now the head of the palace guard. Since when did an officer decide the use of words?” (Pg. 55)
