will we read the introduction

it says my internet is unstable so i might get kicked in this class

yes!

woah!

this poem sounds like its talking about a different translation, it sounds a little bit different, so probably an earlier translation (or that could just because it a dramatization of the translation)

Odysseus returns and no one treats him well but argos recognizes him

"interesting"

Ulysses his only recognized by his old dog, who dies after he sees him.

This is when Argos met Odysseus

That was unexpected! So, apparently it's like an alternate ending to the Odyssey where Odysseus dies at the end. He gets home, but no one recognizes him, and he doesn't reveale his identity to anyone.

Animals always seem to have this sixth sense, I've seen it in other stories, it's pretty cool. Very sad poem. Rest in peace argos.

i accidently deleted sorry

all people left him, only his dog knew him.

argos meets odysseys after a long time

Argos is seeing Odysseus for the first time and possibly that was all he wanted to see before he let himself die? And the poems rhyming is really beautiful

when Odysseus met argos

The author must’ve really liked dogs because this is longer than that was mentioned in the book about his dog

Mournful

Hold on, I just realized something - it was Argos that died

lauren i think it was the same length but this was just 100x more dramatic

Not Oddyseus

It's kind of like when Odysseus returned to Ithaca only Argos recognized him. And Argos was in a terrible condition, definitely mistreated by the suitors.

does the author not like the letter E? i know he doe use it but the only letter removed is the letter E

perhaps it's an accent or a way the author's culture taught him to speak

Perhaps the removal of the E's is done to make the words fit into the rhythm of the poem

could we put the definitions in the chat, or just remember them?

*should

'd = ed

and some of the words that others underlined I think I can help define

even=ev’n so it is not just “ed”

I know

I was talking about the underline of a word in the last line of the poem.

storms

Windy storm
