Names 48

Call this a case of the common and the obscure.  See the name on that tanker?

Of course, and we know the name well for his fables despite his and their antiquity.  The crude tanker was launched in 2012.

But how about this one?  I had to look it up.

But if you know sci-fi movies or Swedish epic poetry, you might have recognized it.  If not, I looked it up for you here.  How appropriate . . . a 2008 RORO ship named for a space ship from a poem adapted for film!
