The story of golden fleece in Greek mythology
Golden fleece is the treasure of King Korcz. As long as it exists, the king can keep his throne and life. So the king hid it in the temple and sent a dragon to protect it.

Many people are eager to get golden fleece, and Jason is one of them. In order to recapture the throne taken away by his uncle, he decided to take golden fleece with him.

Jason's friends came to help him one after another, and Athena, the goddess, made them a big ship that could only predict the future. Ready for all this, Jason and his friends set out bravely.

Along the way, Jason and his friends passed the women's island, defeated the tall and six-handed locals and drove away the fierce beautiful birds.

After many difficulties and obstacles, I finally came to Korcz, but the king of Korcz made an unreasonable request to Jason: "Jason, if you can cultivate and sow with my two magical cows in one day, you can win the golden fleece."

However, the king's two magical cows are very fierce. Their mouths can emit huge flames, so no one can go near them. In doing so, the king actually wanted to burn the torch on the cow.

The king has a beautiful daughter named Medea. He fell in love with the handsome Jason and decided to help him secretly. She cured a magical medicine, gave it to Jason and told him how to subdue the cow.

Jason immediately increased his strength after applying magic medicine to his body. Not only is he invulnerable, but he can also put out fires. Jason came to the field and found two cows. He quickly subdued the cow and found the king.

The king was angry. Medea was afraid that the king would punish her, so she escaped from the palace and asked Jason to save herself.

Jason was very grateful to the princess and promised to marry her. In this way, Medea and Jason ran to the forest in golden fleece. Golden fleece makes the forest as bright as day, and the sleepless dragon is guarding it. Medea first asked the god of sleep to let the dragon sleep with a sweet voice, and then sang a beautiful song gently. The dragon couldn't help dozing off, but still couldn't help staring at it.

Then Medea picked up the branch again, dipped it in divine water and sprinkled it in the dragon's eyes. The dragon finally fell asleep.

Jason quickly took off golden fleece, and then returned to the boat with Medea, and flew away towards his hometown.

The origin of golden fleece

Friso, the son of King Atamas of Bohemia, was abused by Enoch, his father's favorite concubine. In order to rescue his son, his biological mother Nefeller quietly took her son out of the palace with the help of her sister Heller. Nefeller is a cloud god. She let her son and daughter ride on the back of a winged ram. The wool of this ram is pure gold.

This is a gift she got from Hermes, the messenger of the gods and the god of death. My brother and sister rode this magical sheep across the land and sea in the sky. On the way, my sister Heller felt dizzy, fell off the back of the sheep, fell into the sea and drowned. Since then, this sea has been called Heller Sea, also known as Haile Leto.

Frederick Sotheby's arrived safely in Korkas on the Black Sea coast, was warmly received by King Ides, and betrothed his daughter Carl Kibo to him. Friso sacrificed the Golden Sheep to Zeus, thanking him for blessing him to escape. He presented golden fleece as a gift to King Ides.

The king gave it to ares, the god of war. He ordered it to be nailed in the sacred forest to commemorate Ares, and sent a fire dragon to guard it, because the Oracle told him that his life was closely linked with golden fleece, golden fleece would live, and golden fleece would die.
