Argos Odysseus Odyssey Recognised Staff Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Recognition of Odysseus by Argos, the Loyal Hound Description: This image depicts the poignant moment of recognition between the legendary Greek hero Odysseus and his faithful hound Argos, as described in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. After a long and perilous journey home from the Trojan War, Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, enters his palace in Ithaca, unbeknownst to his unsuspecting wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. Amidst the chaos and confusion of his own home, Odysseus is greeted by Argos, the old and once-beloved family dog, who lies dying in a corner. Despite his disguise, Argos, with his keen instincts and unwavering loyalty, recognizes his master in Odysseus. This poignant scene underscores the deep bond between man and his faithful companion, a bond that transcends time and circumstance. Historical Context: The Odyssey, an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, tells the story of Odysseus' ten-year journey home after the fall of Troy. The poem is rich in mythology, adventure, and the exploration of human nature. The scene of Odysseus' recognition by Argos is a powerful and emotional moment in the epic, highlighting the themes of homecoming, loyalty, and the enduring bond between man and his faithful companion. Artistic Merit: This exquisite print, with its intricate details and evocative use of light and shadow, brings the scene to life, transporting us back to ancient Greece and allowing us to witness this poignant moment in the history of mythology.
