"Who are you? where are you from? your city? your parents?
What sort of vessel brought you? Why did the sailors
land you here in Ithaca?"
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 14, lines 215-217. Eumaeus asks the disguised Odysseus who he is, where he comes from and why has he landed in Ithaca. We have another example of dramatic irony here, as the reader is aware of Odysseus’ identity.
