Did you know...

... that Odysseus has a loyal dog named

ARGOS.​

Since Odysseus left Ithaca, his dog was neglected by his people but his dog waited for him for 10 years.

ARGOS

When Odysseus finally got home and discovered that someone had stolen his kingdom from him, he disguised himself as someone else and seek revenge. No one knew that it was him...​

.... except ARGOS.

​

Now thin and weak, Argos still wagged his tail and got very excited as he saw his owner.​

Did you know...

Thinking about his revenge, no matter how Odysseus wanted to hug his loyal dog, he maintained his disguise and left the WEAK LONGING ARGOS confused and wondering why his owner did not even try to acknowledge him. Argos died not long after their encounter.
