Perhaps the legendary Argo on which Jason voyaged in quest of the Golden Fleece was a real ship. After all Troy, for long considered a place of legend, turned out to be a real city.
For a reconstructed Argo, the 2008 voyage had glitches, but of a different kind from those of the original journey. No Sirens, no Cyclops. And according to the Telegraph, the storms were all political.
Greek Reporter stated in February this year that another voyage may soon be attempted.
I wonder how often the Toronto Argonauts ponder on the illustrious marines from whom their football team derives its name.
