Eurymachus

• same evil intentions
• covers intentions with a more friendly exterior
• makes a reassuring speech to T in bk 1
• 'the words on his lips were soothing, but in his heart he wished for Telemachus' death'
• even more disreputable because of his relationship with Melanthius and Melantho
• when he flatters P's looks, she points out that the serious suitors give valuable presents
• he cannot string the bow
• his loss of reputation distresses him the most, not P
• P shows her superiority with words
• P points out that he has no rep to lose
• his death is a swift arrow entering the nipple and ending in his liver
