Argonauts

Argonauts, in Greek mythology, were the Greek heroes, sailors in the 'Argo', who, under the command of Jason, sailed for Colchis in quest of the Golden Fleece, which was guarded by a dragon that never slept. It was a perilous venture, but it proved successful with the assistance of Medea, the daughter of the king, whom, with the fleece, Jason in the end brought away with him to be his wife.
