Golden Fleece / 金羊毛

The Golden Fleece is the mythic object that drives Jason / 伊阿宋’s heroic quest in 67.美狄亚：古希腊秦香莲的复仇及其现代性. The episode summarizes its origin in an endangered royal child’s escape, the sacrificial golden ram, and the fleece’s later guarding in Colchis, then calls it a kind of narrative MacGuffin for the Argonautic adventure.

The fleece matters in the wiki less as an object than as a bridge from Greek Mythology to [[MedeaPlay|《美狄亚》 / Medea]]. It explains why Jason reaches Medea’s world, why [[MedeaCharacter|Medea / 美狄亚]] becomes his helper, and why the later domestic tragedy is haunted by an earlier heroic debt that Jason would prefer to forget.

Key Claims

• The fleece organizes the quest structure that introduces Medea and Jason’s bond.
• Medea’s help in obtaining it makes the later abandonment more morally charged.
• The source uses the fleece to show how Greek myth works as a connected story system rather than as isolated tales.

Connections

• Jason / 伊阿宋, Medea / 美狄亚, and [[MedeaPlay|《美狄亚》 / Medea]] - main source cluster.
• Greek Mythology and Mythic Source Layering - broader mythic system and variant-awareness frame.
