Volos, Greece
Pagasae
Pagasae or Pagases, also Pagasa, was a town and polis of Magnesia in ancient Thessaly, currently a suburb of Volos. It is situated at the northern extremity of the bay named after it. Pagasae is celebrated in mythology as the port where Jason built the ship Argo, and from which he sailed upon his adventurous voyage: hence some of the ancients derived its name from the construction of that vessel,, but others from the numerous and abundant springs which were found at this spot.
