Argos, Eurykleia, Maron and Melantho - Characters, The Odyssey | The Odyssey by Homer- Summary, Themes & Characters - Novels PDF Download

Argos

Odysseus' loyal dog. When his master return homes after nearly twenty years, Argos recognizes him, rejoices, and dies. If you think Penelope had to wait a long time to see Odysseus again, try thinking of those twenty years in dog years. 


Eurykleia

Odysseus' nurse when he was a little boy. She's still around in the palace working as a servant (and trying to keep Telemachos from running off) when Odysseus returns and she recognizes her master by the scar on his thigh. 


Maron

The keeper of Apollo's groves at Ismaros; he provides the Ithakans with wine. 


Melantho

Melantho is a palace servant who's loyal to the suitors rather than the Queen, if you know what we mean. And she gets hanged, obviously, because that's apparently the most humiliating way to die.
