Isn't it amazing how a three thousand year old poem resounds so tellingly in the modern day. The scene with Argos may seem trite to some, but not to me. Argos endured abuse and privation standing watch against the return of his master. Having seen his master, he recognized him immediately despite the lowly state in which Odysseus presented himself. The suitors, or course, did not recognize him, to their extreme detriment.

Argos is a favorite of mine.




"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

kirk Douglas was terrific. I just saw him in “lust For Life” in which he played Van Gogh. Such a different character than Ulysses!

And Spartacus! I haven’t seen that movie in some months...need to order it again.
