And those who were building the shipoften felt going through it tremors as of a living creature. When the ship was built and made ready for the voyage a name wasgiven to it--the Argo it was called. And naming themselves fromthe ship the heroes called themselves the Argonauts. All wasready for the voyage, and now Jason went with his friends to viewthe ship before she was brought into the water. Argus the master was on the ship, seeing to it that the lastthings were being done before Argo was lau...nched. Very grave andwise looked Argus--Argus the builder of the ship. And wonderfulto the heroes the ship looked now that Argus, for their viewing, had set up the mast with the sails and had even put the oars intheir places. Wonderful to the heroes Argo looked with her longoars and her high sails, with her timbers painted red and goldand blue, and with a marvelous figure carved upon her prow. Allover the ship Jason's eyes went. He saw a figure standing by themast; for a moment he looked on it, and then the figure becameshadowy.
