With the aid of Medea, the daughter of Aeetes, the king of Colchis, Jason snatched the Golden Fleece.
In ancient Greek mythology, the Greek hero Jason sought the Golden Fleece in Colchis to bring it back to his uncle Pelias, who had usurped the throne of Ioclus from Jason's father. With the aid of Medea, the daughter of Aeetes, the king of Colchis, Jason snatched the fleece. Medea fell in love with Jason and left Colchis with him. In this 1885 illustration, Medea is shown with Jason, with Jason's ship the Argos, in the background.
