Melanthios

Sometimes spelled Melanthius. The Ithakan goatherd. Unlike many of the other, loyal servants we meet, Melanthios sides with the suitors and insults beggar Odysseus. On the one hand, he arms the suitors during the slaughter, but on the other hand he gets tortured before he dies. 


Medon

The town crier of Ithaka. He's called out as one of the men loyal to Odysseus, so he accordingly isn't slaughtered along with everyone else in sight. 


Phemios

Sometimes spelled Phemius. The resident bard in Ithaka. We first meet him as he saddens Penelope by singing of the Trojan war. Later, he is spared from the slaughter because he has been loyal to Odysseus during his absence.


Philoitios

A cowherd in Ithaka and one of the servants who remain loyal to Odysseus. He fights on Odysseus' side against the suitors during the slaughter.
