Golden Fleece

Golden Fleece, in Greek mythology, was the fleece of a ram which Phryxos, after he had sacrificed him to Zeus, gave to Æëtes, king of Colchis, who hung it on a sacred oak, and had it guarded by a monstrous dragon, and which it was the object of the Argonautic expedition under Jason to recover and bring back to Greece, an object which they achieved.
