-Odysseus is a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer’s epic poem the Odyssey. Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer’s Iliad and other works in that same epic cycle.
Son of Laërtes and Anticlea, husband of Penelope, and father of Telemachus and Acusilaus,Odysseus is renowned for his intellectual brilliance, guile, and versatility (polytropos), and is thus known by the epithet Odysseus the Cunning.He is most famous for his nostos, or “homecoming”, which took him ten eventful years after the decade-long Trojan War.
-In Homer’s the Odyssey, Argos is Odysseus’ faithful dog. After twenty years struggling to get home to Ithaca, Odysseus finally arrives on his homeland.This is important because if Argos lived, he would undoubtedly give away Odysseus’ disguise and ruin his plan to kill the suitors.
