Mythology

"◆ Age -- 44
◆ Homeland -- Ithaca
◆ Occupation -- King and general
The ruler of the island of Ithaca, Odysseus was one of the most prominent Greek champions in the Trojan War. The stratagem of the Trojan Horse was his idea. Following the victory at Troy, he set out on his ten year journey home, chronicled for all time by Homer in the epic poem, Odyssey. Along the way, Odysseus and his crew experienced many adventures and misfortunes, some of their own making and some thanks to the intervention of the gods. Blinding the Cyclops Polyphemus incurred the wrath of Poseidon, who troubled them for years. Thanks to help from Zeus, Athena, and other gods, Odysseus arrived home alone to find his wife Penelope beset by suitors. Disguised as a beggar, he first determined that Penelope had been faithful, and then slew the men pursuing her and cleansed his palace. This triggered a final battle against the families of the men killed, but Athena restored the peace."

Trivia

During the Alpha, what would later become The Argo's model was much larger, and used for the Trireme. The model was made smaller, and reused for The Argo, for unknown reasons.
Unlike most hero units, The Argo cannot pick up Relics (even if they are close to the water).
Jason is most famously the captain of The Argo, yet he is only available to Zeus worshippers, who does not have Aphrodite as a minor goddess.
