Argo Pyrites was the author of Alchemy, Ancient Art and Science.[1]
Etymology
The name Argo derives from the Greek word argos, meaning "swift."[2] In Greek mythology, Argo was the ship on which Jason and his companions, the Argonauts, sailed on their journey to find the Golden Fleece. Pyrite is a shiny yellow mineral, which is also called Fool's Gold, due to its resemblance to the precious metal.
Behind the scenes
- This character is mentioned only on a page from an early draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which J. K. Rowling posted on her website.[1] He may have been related to Pyrites, a Death Eater who was included in early drafts of the same book, but was also discarded.
