Answer:

Only reluctantly does he allow Eurycleia to wash his feet. As she is putting them in a basin of water, she notices a scar on one of his feet. She immediately recognizes it as the scar that Odysseus received when he went boar hunting with his grandfather Autolycus.

Answer:

Eurycleia recognizes Odysseus when she is washing his feet and sees his scar. She hugs Odysseus but he silences her so she does not give the secret away. Eurycleia keeps the secret.
