in Antiquity, the ship celebrated in ancient poetry as that in which the Argonauts made their expedition to Colchis in quest of the golden fleece. Jason having happily accomplished his enterprise, consecrated the ship Argo to Poseidon (Neptune), or, as others say, to Athena (Minerva), on the isthmus of Corinth, where, they add, it did not remain long before it was translated into heaven, and made a constellation.
