It so happens that I just t'other day picked up a copy of The Argonautika by Apollonius Rhodios (Apollonius of Rhodes), but haven't gotten into it yet. I'll check it out and see if he gives an explanation for the ship's name, and report back here.

It's important to note that Argo, the ship, in Greek spell, is also written in Latin fashion as Argus, which I usually adopt. The trouble is that, in Latin, the Greek name of the builder, Argus, is kept without flection, what may cause some confusion. I'm considering to switch to the Greek "Argo", when referring to the ship.
