ZE GOLDEN FLEECE!!1

Hee. I remember doing this AP Bio project with my friend where we had to come up with some genetically engineered thing for this fake company. We made a sheep produce golden silk [hypothetically of course], and we were like ZOMG GOLDEN FLEEEEECE. It was pretty awesome. Anyway.

So yeah, the golden fleece is really named Chrysomallos. He's a golden winged ram of JUSTICE. The story of the golden fleece goes like this.. The King of Orchomenus, Athamas, fell in lerrrv with Nephele, a cloud goddess. And by her they had two children, Phrixus and Helle. But Athamas, being the man that he is, falls in love with Ino and marries her. Ino hated the stepchildren cause she was a megabitch evil stepmother, so she planned to kill them. Nephele couldn't have any of this, so she was like UH UH GIRLFRIEND *snap snap* and appeared with Chrysomallos. The ram carried the children off, but Helle was a deedeedee and fell off and died. Phrixus lived, though, and for some stupid reason sacrificed the goat and put its fleece in a tree.. where it was guarded by a dragon serpent (yes, I am drawing the dragon serpent. I can't resist.)

And then, there's another story about Jason and the Argonauts.. where they go and steal the fleece. And I basically just told you that story. Lawl *lazy and tired*

Btw, Aries = this ram. :B

The fleece looks so fluuuuffy. Maybe Phixus wanted to make a blanket out of it and decided not to after discovering the fleas. Or he's just dumb.

XB Thanks. Well, I read more into it and it seems he sacrificed it in order to thank Zeus for such a blessing.
Or some such crap.

Phrixus lived, though, and for some stupid reason sacrificed the goat and put its fleece in a tree..

Rams is (male) sheep, nay goats!

But yeah, he did it out of honour (ancient civilisations were odd) and Zeus put the ram in the stars as a sign of its greatness.

"...Sacrificed the goat..."

He sacrificed the ram (male sheep), not a goat. Zodiac goat is Capricorn. I was just being picky, no worries.
