Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
Treated as rubbish now, he lay at last
upon a mass of dung before the gates-
manure of mules and cows, piled there until
fieldhands could spread it on the king's estate.
Abandoned there, and half destroyed with flies,
old Argus lay.
What functions as a symbol in this excerpt?
O a mule
O the king
O Odysseus
Argus
