Talk:Argos (dog)

Argos
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)
 * Maera was a dog that led Erigone to her slain father's body, Icarius (not to be confused with the Icarius in the Odyssey). When they found the body both were overcome with grief and Erigone hanged herself and Maera lept off a cliff. I'm not sure if this story predates the Odyssey though.

Break the poem into lines?!
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)

This scene broke me
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)
