Argos recognized Odysseus immediately, even in disguise dressed as a poor beggar.
Unable to greet his beloved dog, as this would betray who he really was, Odysseus passes by (but not without shedding a tear) and enters his hall, and Argos dies.
Odysseus does not want to let Eumaeus see his tear, for that might give away his identity.
