Question

In the Odyssey, which best describes Argos?

Answer 1

Argos demonstrates supreme faithfulness and excellent xenia (pronounced zeh-NEE-uh), by fulfilling his duty to his master and faithfully welcoming him home, even though it's his last breath. This is in contrast to the suitors, the servants, and, potentially, Penelope and Telemachos. Who is fulfilling their duty to their lord and master, Odysseus? Who is behaving with ideal xenia? Who has betrayed Odysseus?

Xenia=Greek ideas of hospitality, welcome, and guest-host relationships
