Mamilius Limetanus, AR denarius serrate, (3.65g) c. 82 BC, Bust of Mercury right, caduceus behind. / C MAMIL LEMETAN Ulysses walking right, his dog before. Mamilia6, Syd741, C362/1. Good VF The tale of Argus, Ulysses' dog in "Homer's Odyssey," is the story [ ] of a dog's devotion. Ulysses, King of Ithaca, goes off to war to [ ] fight the Trojans. He promises his wife Penelope, his son, and his dog Argus, that he will return quickly, but the prolonged war and his fabled journey home delay his return for twenty years. By the time he returns, many changes have taken place, since he was presumed long dead. So Ulysses disguised himself as a beggar, rather than alert anyone to his return. When he arrives at his home, he meets a very old dog, and realizes that it is his beloved Argus. Despite the long separation, and his master's disguise, Argus immediately recognizes Ulysses and lifts his head, and hearing his master's voice, Argus cocks his ears and slowly rises to his feet. Ulysses, tears in his eyes, embraces his old friend, and Argus, devoted to the very end, dies peacefully.
