Argo

The name of the ship in which Iason (Jason) and the Argonauts sailed on their quest for the Golden Fleece.

The craft was built by a man named Argus and inspired by the goddess Athene (Athena); the name literally means Swift.

The ship was built at the foot of Mount Pelion and, presumably, made of wood from the mountain.
