Read the passage from The Odyssey - Amphimedon

The swineherd led him to the manor later
in rags like a foul beggar, old and broken,
propped on a stick. These tatters that he wore
hid him so well that none of us could know him

Daylight and evening in his own great hall
he bore it, patient as a stone.
