Sadly, Argos dies. Argos was in dire health, due to neglect, by the time Odysseus came home, but Odysseus could not reveal his true identity at that time, so he could not tend to Argos or try to save him. Still, Argos recognized him and had just enough strength to greet him and wag his tail, causing Odysseus to shed a tear at what had become of his loyal pet since he had been gone.

Who is Argos and why is he significant in the Oddesey?
Argos is Odysseus' dog. He was a puppy when Odysseus left to fight and Troy. When Odysseus returned to his kingdom disguised as a beggar, he found that his dog was old and really dirty. Odysseus could not show affection to Argos or he would give his disguise away. But once Argos saw Odysseus, he thumped his tail and could barley lift his head because he was so old. He caught sight of Odysseus and painlessly died, for he was finally at peace because he saw his master again. It is a beautiful moment in the epic poem.
