   Summary

   
   Odysseus did manage to get Nireus to eat something; he was interested in Odysseus' favourites, wanting to know why one or another was his favourite, and would take what Odysseus offered him.
   

   As an apology, Odysseus invited Nireus to his room with a promise to host him.

   Privately.

   Personally.

   In which we see one of many ways that men could get very close and personal, how to interpret xenia to everyone's satisfaction, and a great satisfactory display of diplomacy.

   Odysseus is a great diplomat!
