Answer :
Final answer:
There isn't a specific African goddess mentioned in Greek mythology who helped the Argonauts; however, goddesses like Athena and Hera did aid heroes like Perseus and Jason in their quests.
Explanation:
The African goddess who assisted the Argonauts during their voyage, specifically helping them when they were stranded because of a storm, is generally not a figure described in the main body of Greek mythology. While there are various gods and goddesses who helped or hindered the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece, accounts of an African goddess in this context are ambiguous. However, goddesses associated with aiding heroes on their quests in similar mythological stories include Athena, who helped Perseus on his quest to slay Medusa, and Hera, who, along with Athena, assisted Jason and the Argonauts on their various trials. Nonetheless, the goddesses within Greek mythology such as Hera and Athena were not described as African. It's possible that the student is conflating mythologies or referring to a less commonly known local variation of the myth.
