Agapenor, a Blue Flue Line or more correct but equally strange to the modern ear, the China Mutual Steam Navigation Company.
The Blue Flue Line was founded in 1865 by Alfred and Philip Holt. Considering the Homeric tales to be the greatest adventures of all time they gave all the ships of the Blue Funnel fleet Homeric names.
Agapenor son of Anchaeus king of the Arcadians lead 60 ships to the siege of Troy where he was one of the volunteers who manned the wooden horse of Troy. On his journey back he was shipwricked but founded Paphos on the Ilsle of Cyprus.
