“When I think of the legendary Odysseus, the term ‘wandering’ or ‘errancy’ come to my mind. His long journey – fraught with danger and setbacks – may seem exaggerated and unrealistic. Yet I see it as a metaphor for mankind’s eternal challenges. Odysseus was, and still is, a kind of hero – as we all might be, if we choose to be. The dog, once a wolf, is our guide. And in Odysseus’s case, also his most faithful animal companion: Argos. Who waited, unceasingly, for his master’s return.”
