Argus (Argonaut)

Common card · No. 488759

In Greek mythology, Argus ( AR-gəs; Ancient Greek: Ἄργος, romanized: Árgos) was the builder and eponym of the ship Argo, and consequently one of the Argonauts; he was said to have constructed the ship under Athena's guidance. Argus was commissioned to build the Argo by King Pelias (ruler of Iolcus) so that the crew that would come to be known as the Argonauts could find and bring the Golden Fleece back to Iolcus, which was in Thessaly.
