In this lecture, we observe: (a) the reunion of Telemachos and Odysseus and their plot to destroy the suitors; (b) we meet Melanthios, the ungracious goatherd, and observe how some in Ithaka have turned from Odysseus and from what is right; (c) and we conclude with an examination of Argos, the old hunting dog of Odysseus, as a symbol for what Ithaka has become in Odysseus' absence.
