Excellent work. When and who constructed the Argos? That is way too cool!

Private project from Men of Vision five years ago if memory serves me right.
Jason's voyage was reconstructed also.

Kind regards

Is that Argo or Argo II? I think I have read there is second Argo being built! But it was quite some time ago, I do not remember the article. Our ship is currently getting a new paintjob, red and black are the colors. More to come in a not so distant future

Kind regards

Not so nice of you to make fun of me, evil Stefanos

My previous statement, alas poorly explained, was concerning just the reconstruction projects ARGO and ARGO II. If we take the original Argo into consideration, it would mean these ships would be called Argo II and Argo III respectively. So is this Argo II or III?

Yes,this is Argo II. The first one was built many years ago and it was a much smaller ship, based on a famous vase of Odysseus and the Seirens. I know very little about it. So this is Argo II.

Any other pictures of the boat?

These are all amazing! There's a Greek/Roman gathering that's taking place in Madison, Wisconsin in the first week of August that I won't be able to attend, but I'm sure it will feature many folks dressed as such. It would have been my first festival of that nature and unfortunately I will have to miss it. But on the plus side it is because I'll be attending my first semester of graduate school at Indiana University. Go Hoosiers!

I took my almost finished spolas for some outdoor photos today. It was a sunny day,not one of the hottest in summer,but hot enough! My spolas is very comfortable to wear,my sandals too. Running in them is as comfortable as with any other modern shoes,and even better since they're opened sandals with hobnails.

I have said it before,if you're gonna pass through a forest of low trees such as olives, don't wear your crest! :wink:

Polemidas from Koryvantes as a Hoplite of the Athenian Boutade clan. Enjoy

I posted in the other thread photos of my just finished spolas,but here are some more atmospheric ones.

The photos were taken between the modern village of Doriskos and the hill where the ancient city was built on. Many thanks to my friend Kostas who took the photos.

PS. I just noticed that in the last photo there are some modern aspects visible on the horizon.If someone with photoshop skills could erase them...
