Golden Fleece

Objects · Myth & story

The ram’s fleece of the Argonaut story, a named quest-object. Not gold as a metal, and not every later golden hide.

Hellenic religion

  • Golden Fleece appears in Hellenic religion.

    Ovid’s Metamorphoses 7 tells Jason’s taking of the golden fleece. Hellenic quest-object in that Latin verse, not generic wool and not a minted Jason.

    from Ovid · Metamorphoses, 8 CE
