Golden Fleece
In the Greek Mythology, the Golden Fleece is the fleece of Chrysomallos, ram winged on which Phrixos and Hellé fled to escape their mother-in-law, Ino.
Arrived in Colchide, Phrixos immola the ram with Zeus and gave the fleece to Éétès, the king of the country, in thanks of its hospitality. The fleece was then entrusted to the guard of a dragon.
Later, Jason organized celebrates it forwarding of the Argonautes and managed to seize the Golden Fleece, thanks to the assistance of Médée, the girl of Éétès.
In the history, Médée cutting his/her brother and throws it to water to slow down Éétès, which gathers all the pieces of his/her son (Médée is thus also his/her daughter!!) and Argonautes can from go away victorious and in possession of the Golden Fleece
It is it should be noted that in Georgia, at the mountain populations of north: the Svanes, one uses since very old times a technique of Orpaillage while using of skins of Mouton S which one makes soak in the bed of the rivers, with an aim of collecting the Or which is there in abundance. Perhaps is necessary it to see an explanation of the legend there there.
