Status Updates From Odysseen

“Twenty years had passed since Argos saw Odysseus, and now he saw him for the final time— then suddenly, black death took hold of him.”

Argos babyyyyy 😭🐕

“The master gone, boys took the puppy out to hunt wild goats and deer and hares. But now he lay neglected, without an owner, in a pile of dung from mules and cows—the slaves stored heaps of it outside the door, until they fertilized the large estate. So Argos lay there dirty, covered with fleas.”

Argos nooooo 😭😭

“Lying Odysseus replied: I will tell you the truth completely.”
This is literally the whole book in a nutshell 😂

‘“One scoundrel leads another! Makes sense: gods join like things with like. You foul pig-man, where are you taking this old swine? A scrounger, who will rub on many doors, demanding scraps, not gifts for warriors. ... But he does not want work....”’

This random goat herder is out here hating for the love of the game. Poor Eumaeus. I almost feel bad for Odysseus too which is giving me the ick lmao
