Aegyptius is bent double with age and infinitely experienced; father of the dead Antiphus and three surviving sons—two farmers and the suitor Eurynomus—he still weeps for Antiphus as he becomes the first to speak.
See evidence text
“Aegyptius, a man bent double with age, and of infinite experience, was the first to speak. His son Antiphus had gone with Ulysses to Ilius, land of noble steeds, but the savage Cyclops had killed him when they were all shut up in the cave, and had cooked his last dinner for him. {17} He had three sons left, of whom two still worked on their father’s land, while the third, Eurynomus, was one of the suitors; nevertheless their father could not get over the loss of Antiphus, and was still weeping for him when he began his speech.”
