 From here on, the tales Odysseus tells are masterpieces of mythmaking as embedded in the master myth of the Odyssey. One such tale is a “Cretan lie” told by the disguised Odysseus to the swineherd Eumaeus about the Trojan War (14.192–359; BA 7§26, 12§14); at a later point in their verbal exchanges, Eumaeus refers to another tale told by Odysseus about the Trojan War (14.462–506) by describing it as a faultless ainos (14.508; BA 12§§14–16). As a master of the ainos, Odysseus keeps on adapting his identity by making his noos fit the noos of the many different characters he encounters. And the multiple ainoi of Odysseus can thus be adapted to the master myth of the Odyssey. From here on, the tales Odysseus tells are masterpieces of mythmaking as embedded in the master myth of the Odyssey.
