Jason gathers the Argonauts, an elite band of Greek heroes, to go and fetch the Golden Fleece: the hide of a divine ram, hung up in Colchis, a region that roughly matches present-day Georgia.
This voyage is one of the oldest sea stories in the West. It is about royal legitimacy, divine help, and above all the destructive passion between Jason and Medea, the sorceress who makes the victory possible and then terrible.
