Who is Argos and why is he significant in the Oddesey?
Argos is Odysseus' dog. He was a puppy when Odysseus left to fight and Troy. When Odysseus returned to his kingdom disguised as a beggar, he found that his dog was old and really dirty. Odysseus could not show affection to Argos or he would give his disguise away. But once Argos saw Odysseus, he thumped his tail and could barley lift his head because he was so old.

Why does Odysseus need a disguise in order to kill the suitors?
By wearing a disguise, Odysseus is able to increase his chances of victory by catching the suitors unaware. This allows him to determine who is on his side and would help him fight. It further allows him to have the suitor's armor and weapons hidden in the storeroom so that they cannot mount a strong defence against Odysseus. His disguise also allows Odysseus to kill Antinous without any resistance. Finally, his disguise allows him to perform the feat of strength and skill, stringing his mighty bow, and shooting it cleanly through 12 axe handles. This serves not only to give him his bow and allow him to inspect it, but to also show off his power to the other suitors, intimidating them. If Odysseus had charged in against 100 men, even with his son's help, he would have been slain.
