Argo
Mythical Greek ship
Argo is a name from Greek mythology—the ship that carried Jason and the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece.
The name has been applied to various vessels, spacecraft, and projects since.
In astronomy, Argo Navis was a large southern constellation representing the ship, now divided into smaller constellations.
The 2012 film *Argo* dramatized a CIA rescue operation using a fake movie production as cover.
