Argonauts

Jason's heroic crew

The Argonauts were the band of Greek heroes who sailed with Jason on the ship Argo to retrieve the Golden Fleece from Colchis.

The crew included famous figures like Heracles, Orpheus, and the twins Castor and Pollux.

Their voyage became one of the foundational adventure narratives of Greek mythology.

The Argonauts faced countless perils before reaching their destination. (Lowercase argonauts describes adventurers generally, or a type of octopus.)
