    Argus became slave, as his master Odysseus was gone. He was neglected and maltreated but despite of these, he remain hopeful that he will see his master before he took his last breath. Moreover, the faithfulness and loyalty of the dog symbolizes the love and the simple relationship of Odysseus and Argus.
