           But don't forget, Xena said that Argo saw her riding a different   
   horse. Maybe Argo is the   
   jealous type, is prone to hold grudges, and wanted to teach Xena a lesson   
   about "loyalty."  (If   
   Xena had taken Argo along, would Argo have understood why Xena sacrificed the   
   other horse?)
