I named my dog Argos after this loyal pup. It's such a sappy, silly part of the story.
---Haha, very true, but to be fair, it's mostly "sappy" because so many people have reused it. I still look forward to it every time I read the Odyssey.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.134.122 (talk) 12:17, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
It's sappy to us but I have a feeling that it is the first time in Western literature that the "dog/master" relationship is used this way as a metaphor for faithfulness and fidelity. Can anyone confirm whether this is the case? Partnerfrance (talk) 18:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
The Odyssey just so happens to be a poem... Maybe it would be proper to break it up into lines? I may come back to do this later. Tullie 19:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Death of a loyal servant who had waited faithfully for his master only to pass away before he could return from the war… at least he was seen Allyseus (talk) 10:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
