[333] Odysseus withdraws, for he was more likely to hold communion with the gods when alone. Cp. Od.4. 367, of Eidothea, “ μ᾽ οἴῳ ἔρροντι συνήντετο νόσφιν ἑταίρων”, and Od.10. 277.Besides, the feeling of confidence between himself and his comrades was broken; so that he doubtless had misgivings about their loyalty which he could not utter to the gods in their presence.
