In Homer's "The Odyssey," the two servants spared by Odysseus are Eumaeus, the loyal swineherd, and Philoetius, the faithful cowherd. Both men stood by Odysseus during his long absence and remained loyal to him, even when the suitors were trying to court his wife, Penelope. Their loyalty earns them a reward, as Odysseus grants them their lives and a place in his household upon his return to Ithaca.
