Question

Which character is considered to be a foil for Eurynome? in The Odyssey

Answer 1

Hi there!

In the Odyssey, Melantho is a foil to Eurynome and Eurykleia.

Melantho, the sibling of Melanthios, is a palace servant who is loyal to the suitors rather than the Queen. In order to die in the most humiliating way, she is hanged.

In literature, a foil character is a character that is opposite to the main character in personality, physical appearance, or both.

Answer 2

It has been a bit since I read this story, but I believe Melantho, the sister of Melanthios, was a foil character to Eurynome.

Sorry if this is incorrect, but I hope it helps.
