On the other hand, it also tells the side of Eumenes, who is on Troia's beach, trying to find his way back home to Kardia. There, he meets Aristoteles' lot, and they cross the Hellespont together, after which they however part ways again. Eumenes goes to Kardia by foot and finds upon arrival that it is under siege. He manages to get himself and a couple of others there, among whom Antigonos, in with a trick.
Eumenes guided Antigonos and his two companions to Hieronymus' house, but then they part ways as well, while Eumenes' reminisces about his childhood.
