#argos the odyssey

[psychicbluebirdmiracle]

What if Odysseus named his dog argos after Jason's ship like what if he was just a huge fan boy of jason XD

[remusfinglupin]

I will NEVER get over the part of The Odyssey where Argos, Odysseus’s loyal dog, recognizes Odysseus after 20 years (even though he’s disguised) and THEN DIES.

Round 1

[image ID: the first image is a drawing of Argos, a thin, elderly dog, laying on the ground. he is looking up at a man, Odysseus, who is barefoot, wearing ragged clothing, and walking with a cane. beside them is another man, wearing a hat and clothing in much better condition. the image is captioned, "Ulysses recognized by his old dog Argus." the second image is of Barkspawn, a large, muscular dog, similar to a rottweiler, with reddish brown fur, red markings, and black swirls on his shoulders. end ID]

You folks seemed to enjoy the Telemachus/Argos piece. If that wasn’t sad enough for you, here’s a follow up with Odysseus and Argos :)

“Her” is referring to Ody’s mother, Anticlea.

ignoring Mr Jalpeño’s blatant Good Boy erasure

imagine Argos fucking hates the suitors. He senses the bad vibes and he growls and snaps at them at every opportunity. Several of the suitors have scars from being ‘nipped’.

imagine Odysseus disguising himself as a suitor, sneaking around, stealing weapons, and blending in with the other assholes during Hold Them Down

now imagine our favorite puppo making that super hard because he sees his master!! His owner is home, he hasn’t seen Ody since he was a puppy!! And now he’s old and slow but he’s damn happy to see his master, whether he looks homeless and is very stinky or not

imagine some of the other suitors wondering why the old king’s dog seems to like This One Rando so much, that he’s dancing around his legs like a fool, licking his scarred hands and sniffing his cloak obsessively, even as said Rando Suitor is trying to push him away between head pats

Odysseus dies during the war and by the laws of combat/due to some prophecy stating that only a war strategy from the mind of Laertiades will cause the fall of Troy, Telemachus is brought to the shores of Troy.

10 year old Telemachus, who has never even held a weapon before, who was hiding behind his teary-eyed mother's skirts when they came to fetch him.

Penelope falling to her knees, clutching the feet of the ones trying to take her son away and begging to not do this, that she has just lost her husband, that she cannot lose a son too, that her boy is so young. That her brother-in-law Eurylochus can avenge her husband.

Grief-stricken Diomedes, hovering and protecting Telemachus, risking his own life time and time again to ensure Telemachus' safety. Fighting with all the commanders to keep him from the battlefield as much as possible.

Athena always standing behind Telemachus, for the first time making her presence evidently known, lending as much as strength, wisdom and courage as she can to her Champion's son.

Eurylochus, Polites and the other Ithacans being so enraged at Telemachus' presence here, he is just a boy, their Prin– their King. He shouldn't be here. But he is, so they do their best to take care of him and ignore their breaking heart everytime Telemachus looks at them with Odysseus' face and speaks with Odysseus' voice, knowing that he is the last piece of their king they have left.
