This is a classic story from Greek mythology. As you will see in the video, this fleece was from a coveted golde ram whose hair was made out of gold. Anyone who was able to get their hands on this fleece would be considered a true king and would gain access to power over the land. This is where the story gets a little more complicated...

This is one of my favorite stories. Thank you for sharing!
This myth is probably the first real Greek myth in that it utilises numerous characters based on constellations, with the ram of the Golden Fleece [Aries] and Tyro, mother of Pelias, the most important as the originator of this myth was seeking to link the
constellations to places related to the known world then ,from a Greek point of view.
A far older version of this was already in existence in Egypt. Khnum [Bata/Neleus] of Elephantine is Greek Aquarius/Ganymede [Ganesha in India/Ganges-lord].Leo is the Sphinx. Hydra is the Nile [Neilos/Nilus] Delta [9 heads/9 branches of Nile] =Wadjit of Buto. Canopus,main star of Argo Navis ,was a port on the coast of Egypt frequented by Argive ships. Scorpio was linked to the Eastern Desert robbers of merchant [ Mercury/Saggitarius] convoys from Coptos [ Min]. Ursa Minor was linked to Wepwawet of Asyut/Lycopolis [see Dendera zodiac]. Pisces is Esna [Latopolis/Nile perch symbol of Neith].
In the Greek version Leo remained the Sphinx, Virgo was Cyrene, Cancer Tyre/Tyro, Taurus Mountains, Aries was Colchis, Pisces Don[Dione] and Donets, Aquarius was Hylaea [Hylas/Iulus/Iolaus/Horus/Helios/Atum/Sol/Saulius the Scythian king] in Scythia/Ashkenaz/Ascanius.
