Argos: The Story of Odysseus as Told by His Loyal Dog Review: My Kids Loved This Pet’s-Eye View of a Classic! - This book is such a perfect way to introduce kids to the story of Odysseus! I read it with my 8- and 10-year-olds, and they were hooked right away. They could follow the story easily—and even read parts on their own with just a little help. The best part? The tale is told through the eyes of a loyal, lovable pet, which made it extra fun and kept them completely engaged. We all loved it! Review: Really gets into a loyal hero dog's head - I greatly enjoyed reading Argos. We can't change the original story, meaning The Odyssey literally meandered all over the place but that was the entertainment of the day. I had to put the book down often but that has nothing to do with the creativity of the author. It's just that the original tale itself was tedious and I always wanted it to get moving instead of stopping at every island that Fate blew the hero and his friends onto for 20 years. (Had I been Penelope, I would have found a way to poison all the suitors years before, custom notwithstanding.) The book is not for young readers unless they're advanced. I would estimate Junior High into Young Adult, simply because of the comprehension needed and the short attention span of the young. The communication patterns of the crow, raven, gulls, etc. was a bit irritating but easy enough to skip over. I really liked Argos, his interpretation of what was happening, and his emotional highs and lows. And please don't tell me that animals don't have feelings! Only the most unobservant think that way. An enjoyable read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,560,654 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #486 in Children's Greek & Roman Tales & Myths #5,981 in Children's Classics #16,591 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (124) | | Dimensions | 1.3 x 5.8 x 8.4 inches | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0062396781 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062396785 | | Item Weight | 1.04 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | May 31, 2016 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![Argos: The Story of Odysseus as Told by His Loyal Dog - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yIfIwAtOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Kids Loved This Pet’s-Eye View of a Classic! *by C***E on September 12, 2025* This book is such a perfect way to introduce kids to the story of Odysseus!

An enjoyable read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing, we loved it *by L***T on May 8, 2017* For years I've been reading to my young children very accessible and age appropriate versions of Illiad & Odyssey. They already know the stories, as we had read them more than once. They also know about Argos from the original (you see him at the end of Odyssey at a very emotional moment). So we were really, really excited to read this version of the Odyssey from Argos' point of view. And, it was awesome. The story and tone feel very true to the original, and the added stories to make transition and narration smooth. Overall we absolutely loved it from start to finish. Because the narration is from the dog, the magical world of ancient greek myth comes alive in an accessible way to the kids. And, kids love animals... just, great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/35270299-argos-the-story-of-odysseus-as-told-by-his-loyal](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/35270299-argos-the-story-of-odysseus-as-told-by-his-loyal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
