As they were speaking, a dog that had been lying asleep raised his head and pricked up his ears. This was Argos, whom Odysseus had bred before setting out for Troy, but he had never had any enjoyment from him. In the old days he used to be taken out by the young men when they went hunting wild goats, or deer, or hares, but now that his master was gone he was lying neglected on the heaps of mule and cow dung that lay in front of the stable doors till the men should come and draw it away to manure the great close; and he was full of fleas. As soon as he saw Odysseus standing there, he dropped his ears and wagged his tail, but he could not get close up to his master. When Odysseus saw the dog on the other side of the yard, dashed a tear from his eyes without Eumaios seeing it, and said: 'Eumaeus, what a noble dog that is over yonder on the manure heap: his build is splendid; is he as fine a fellow as he looks, or is he only one of those dogs that come begging about a table, and are kept merely for show?' 'This dog,' answered Eumaios, 'belonged to him who has died in a far country. If he were what he was when Odysseus left for Troy, he would soon show you what he could do. There was not a wild beast in the forest that could get away from him when he was once on its tracks. But now he has fallen on evil times, for his master is dead and gone, and the women take no care of him. Servants never do their work when their master's hand is no longer over them, for Zeus takes half the goodness out of a man when he makes a slave of him.' So saying he entered the well-built mansion and made straight for the riotous pretenders in the hall. But Argos passed into the darkness of death, now that he had fulfilled his destiny of faith and seen his master once more after twenty years.

You know Kirk Douglas was blessed like Ulysses. Ulysses was offered immortality, had a lustrous life probably long life and so was Kirk Douglas. His lifespan 103 and he had many adventures and will be remembered. His life made him immortal

In the book it held on to see him again, recognizes him and then dies. And Odysseus sheds a single tear for him, unable to approach him in order not to give up his disguise.

Where is Athene ? We wants Athene, we does. She is hugely important. Trojan War & Odyssey = 20-year prison sentence for Penelope. The Argus scene in Homer is unbearably moving - but this is not badly done.

@@georgcorfu This film is a DeLaurentis/Ponti production that was filmed in the Mediterranean area. The screenwriters and director are of Italian descent. The Americans and French were involved in this production, but the film is largely Italian. One of my favorite movies even though I was a youngster at the time. I was a big fan of Kirk Douglas and I hated it when he got killed in "The Vikings." I even stopped liking Tony Curtis after that!

The 1968 TV miniseries directed by Franco Rossi followed the story much more closely than this movie - so many vital elements are missing like the involvement of the gods especially Athena who was Ulysses' patron - also I do not like the way Telemachus is portrayed, as a babbling wimp instead of the grim determined young prince that he is supposed to be.
