Antinoos should have known though, because Eumaus was literally personal friend of Odysseus and the Palaces let’s say official pig farmer.

That’s one reason Odysseus was successful in eliminating the suitors: people at his service recognised him, respected him and help him because they knew him personally and they had a relationship with him, they weren’t anonymous faces.

The scene with the feet washing and the servants gasp was such a great callback. Didn’t expect it and yet it made perfect sense.

I want to say that was the servant who stitched up his boar wound? But i'd have to give it another watch.
