Argonauts were a band of heroes who, in the years before the Trojan War, accompanied Jason to [Colchis] (modern day Georgia) in his quest to find the [Golden Fleece]. Their name comes from their ship, the Argo, which was named after its builder, [Argus]. Argonauts, therefore, literally means Argo sailors. They were sometimes called Minyans, after a prehistoric tribe of the area.
