A replica of "Argo", the mythical ship that bore Jason and the Argonauts on their heroic quest for Golden Fleece, sails in Corinth canal in Korinthos, some 80kms west of Athens on July 2, 2008.

Volunteers have been training for a year and a half to relive mythical voyage of Jason and Argonauts from ancient Greek legend.

The 50-oar ship carries a crew from all 27 European Union member-states and will sail a total distance of 1200 nautical miles from Volos to Venice.
