Yes, Argos, his dog that was very young before he left home, was now about 20 years old. He looks up at Odysseus, wags his tail, and dies.
picks up the scent of his master
Odysseus' dog, Argus, recognizes Odysseus even when he is dressed up as a beggar and wags his tail. However, because he was neglected, he dies on the spot. :(
Odysseus' dog Argus was neglected, and left to it's own devices. Argus was sleeping in a dung heap when he recognized his old master twenty years later. Argus then has a heart attack and dies.
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.
by waiting for odysseus and then he dies
Odysseus is sad when he sees Argos, his old hound, because he remembers the loyalty and companionship they shared when he left for the Trojan War. Seeing Argos weak and neglected serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the toll that his long journey has taken on both of them.
Odysseus' dog, who dies of happiness. As soon as he recognises his master :'(
Odysseus's faithful dog, Argos, was the first to recognize him through his rags. Later on, the old nurse Eurycleia recognizes Odysseus while washing his feet, due to a scar he received as a child while on a boar hunt.
