and a hound that lay there raised his head and pricked up his ears, Argos, the hound of Odysseus, of the steadfast heart, whom of old he had himself bred, but had no joy of him, for ere that he went to sacred Ilios… there lay the hound Argos, full of vermin; yet even now, when he marked Odysseus standing near, he wagged his tail and dropped both his ears, but nearer to his master he had no longer strength to move… aye, verily this is the hound of a man that has died in a far land… but now he is in evil plight, and his master has perished far from his native land… but as for Argos, the fate of black death seized him straightway when he had seen Odysseus in the twentieth year - The Odyssey, Homer
