To those who don't know, Odysseus had a loyal dog named Argos, whom he took in before he went to war. For 20 years, Argos would wait for his master to come home, and was one of the few to recognize Odysseus in disguise upon his return to Ithaca. Argos dies shortly after seeing his master again, having fulfilled his final wish.
Why did I make this? Aside from the fact that misery loves company, I lost four dogs in the span of a year to illnesses due to old age and it's something I'm still in mourning for. I miss Choppy, Muffy, Bessy and Heart very much and channeled some of my grief through this animatic.
I know it's sad, but I feel like this is a better ending to Argos than what actually happened in the myth, wherein Odysseus, in disguise, was forced to ignore Argos to not give away the fact that it was him, the King of Ithaca, and Argos dies shortly after his master passes by him (who, by the way, has to cry quietly).
But what really put the seed of the idea in my head is the tiktok video I found stitching my clip of Polites in the Underworld. Here's the tiktok vid in question: www.tiktok.com/@gringomanny/v...

This dogs sheer loyalty to his master kept him alive until they could finally reunite, then he knew his job was done
Now you made this even more bittersweet and sad. Thank you.
When you thought the story of Hachiko is tragic and then you read about Argos
Hachiko
Hachiko waited until his death and never got to see his owner...
@@carolinaalbuquerque5554 indeed but she wasn't given the cold shoulder by her master (not by choice) unlike Argos who was so near but so far which in my opinion is more painful but that's my take and I'm sticking to it
He lived through what Odysseus Mother couldn't...
How dare you
@@omarsalem1219 I mean. They’ve got a point. I hate it, but he’s got a point.
You've got a point but....why you gotta say it though, aaaaaaah *the pain!!!!
@@justtheguy444 They*
@@omarsalem1219 He's out of line, but he's right
Argos is the example of how humans have created sad stories about dogs to cry for centuries because it is our weak point.
Why Homer? WHYYY???
Millennia at that.
Yes, Homer really had to emotionally devastate us with this. Oh Argos....
Argos❤️❤️❤️He finally met Odysseus. I like that you’re showing them hugging, because being in disguise, Odysseus did not want to arouse suspicion on himself and walked past the dog. It breaks my heart to this day, I'm so glad you depicted their meeting like that❤
Thank you! That was the whole point of animating this tbh.... to give Argos a better ending than what was in the actual myth
Ah. . . This is what that community post was about. . . . Thank you. You're paying for my therapy.
Yes petition for therapy bill signed
Damn. Okay. This is on me.
im crying!!!!!!!!!!!!! my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least Argos died happy, knowing his master is the last thing he sees before leaving....
Yes. It's all bittersweet.... the Homer version though... man that was harsh
@@ns2dstudios yeah it was very heartbreaking.... 😭😭😭😭😭
Dang man I remember Argos but I didn’t know what happened to him. Everyone is sad that he passed away but the one thing that gives me comfort is he didn’t die sad. In a way this reminds me of my dog Bella who in her last moments smiled before passing away. So I think the point of Argos was closure coming full circle in Life. Bruh why I am crying this early in the morning 😢😢😢😢
As a fellow former furparent, I understand your paint. Losing a furbaby is so hard. Why do dogs have to have such short lifespans :(
I needed wholesome, yet sad reunion between Ody and Argos. 🥲
Hope this delivered? hehehehe
I'm not crying, you are!
Yes I am 😭
You're right.. I am crying.. Crying AN OCEAN WHERE POSEIDON LIVES RENT FREE AFTER KILLING ODYSSEUS' MEN😭
Yes we are 😭
It's just rain....running down my face....through my eyes
I thought this was going to be wholesome… I don’t know why I thought that, I know how Argos’ story ends, and yet here I am. Crying.
It's still wholesome... but sad at the same time
Nothing worse than Polites and Ody's mom can rip my heart out now...
Gwendy: hold my beer 🍺🎨✏️🖌
No but seriously, this is so beautiful yet so sad (I think you are the only animator so far that made sth about Argos... and you used Polites' bit from the Underworld 😭🤧🤧)
Im so sorry for your loss, I can only imagine how hard it must have been❤️🩹 I have dogs of my own and I love them so much, so yeah... that
Thank you m-wonder. 2023 was a hard year for me and my husband as furparents. I don't think I'll ever be over it but the pain has dulled to an ache and I still have videos and pictures to look back on.
Doggo's now going to the underworld to tell Odysseus' mom that he's alive
In the Odyssey the dog does die so yeah rip argos
Yeah. Makes me sad how Ody never got to hug him in the myth :(
Watched this while hugging my dog. I was not prepared.
Awww give another hug to your doggo for me
ARGOS!!!!
Argos 😢❤
The goodest boi....
He got to see his master one last time.💔
Man's (or woman's or person's) best friend at its finest.🐶
Yes, exactly. Argos got to fulfill his dying wish.
now i have another reason to cry listening to open arms T-T
That song man..... it used to be so happy... but after Underworld....
Crying at 6am was not part of my schedule - T-T (but really this is good
Awwww it's okay. I understand the pain.
So happy to sad sad in 5 seconds
A roller coaster of emotions
My heart broke when the dog was lifting his head, moving slowly just shows how weary and old he is! 😭😭😭😭
I did not need to cry today. But thank you anyways you are an amazing animator
Awww thank you. Glad you enjoyed this even though it is quite sad.
The saddest part of the whole epic. Very well done.
The myth was way too sad so I made it bittersweet sad.
holy shit the PAIN
Pain...I'm sharing the pain...
Awwwwwwww and here’s Odysseus carrying the part of Polities 😭 He GREETS his dog with open arms so Arlo can finally rest 🥹🥺
GD I didn't think that would bother me, but makes me think of all my pups who've gone to the bridge before me. Hat''s off for the music and the animator.
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn, I had forgotten about Argos xD thanks for that. I hope it helps you though
This was beautiful, Gwendy. Heartbreaking, but also so beautiful
Thank you. Losing a pet is never easy.
This makes me so sad, but the animatic is so good.
Aww 🥺💞
Thank you meda!
I started crying(
As a former dog mom, it hurts to do this but it's a relatable pain.
amazing my heart has been torn to shreds once more
It hurts but it's kind of a good hurt? Weird I know.
How did I not see this earlier 😭
My fucking heart 💔
I'm both hoping and not hoping Jay will include Argos in EPIC
@@ns2dstudios maybe in the Ithaca saga?
Beautiful animatic….But I will be sending you the bill for my therapy!
Normally I'd say send it to Jay...but this was on me
You gave me a heart attack😅 I thought he was gonna stab the dog 🐶
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm literally crying 😭. Fantastic animation❤
Thank you mattia!
Aw the puppers I forgot Odysseus had a dog
That was great!
Thanks clyzm!
YA SEE, THIS IS WHY I NAMED MY DOG ARGOS!!!
AND WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS THAT ARGOS’ LOYALTY TO ODYSSEUS IS THE STRONGEST
AND IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!!😢
Argos is not dead he is just napping! We were not there, so we don't know what really happened!
Ahh my heart
You know what? I was ready to strangle Antinous, if didn’t hate him before given Little Wolf and Hold Them Down clips. But thank goodness the dog wasn’t killed. I am so relieved. It’s doesn’t make it less sad but at least Argos wasn’t killed
At least Argos goes peacefully, having fulfilled his final wish to see his master again
Why!?!
Uh the reprise of open arms hurts why do u keep reminding us about polites Jay
