Lac caninum

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.
This dog,' answered Eumaeus
Eumaeus,, '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.
him.
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 Eumaeus seeing it,
and said:'Eumaeus
said:'Eumaeus,, what a noble hound
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?''
show?''
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.‘
him.‘ So saying
he entered the wellwell-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.
