He outsmarts the Cyclops. He battles the gods. He struggles to survive and do whatever it takes to reunite with his family. And what of that family his devoted wife, Penelope; his young son, Telemachos; his dog, Argos? For those twenty years, they wait, unsure if they will ever see Odysseus again. But now, Argos has found a way to track his master. Any animal who sets foot or wing on Ithaka brings him news of Odysseus's epic voyage. These tales bring hope that one day his master will return. Meanwhile, Argos the loyal dog watches over his master's family and protects them from the dangers that surround a throne without its king.
