|wketx=In Greek mythology, [[Eumaeus]] (/juːˈmiːəs/; Ancient Greek: [[Εὔμαιος]] Eumaios means 'searching well') was Odysseus' swineherd and friend. His father, Ktesios son of Ormenos was king of an island called Syra (present-day Syros in the Greek islands of the Cyclades), although it has also been suggested that Eumaeus referred to Syracuse, Sicily.
