In order to reclaim his father's kingdom, Jason has been sent on an impossible mission - to take the golden ram's fleece that lies far away, guarded by a dragon. Jason, who is so attractive that women fall instantly in love with him, sets sail in the Argo, along with the greatest heroes of ancient Greece, including the surly (and often drunk) Hercules, the enchanting musician Orpheus and the battling twins Castor and Pollux. As they battle clashing rocks, monsters and seductresses, watched over by pitiless gods, they will learn that victory comes at a price. In The Golden Fleece Robert Graves transforms Greek myth into a thrilling and richly imagined story, bringing the ancient world vividly alive.

The author of I, Claudius puts his own twist on the myth of the Argonauts’ quest for the Golden Fleece: “A tour de force . . . A richly tapestried epic” (Kirkus Reviews). An inventive reimagining of the story of Jason and the Argonauts, this novel by renowned poet and classicist Robert Graves brings heroic figures of Hellenistic myth to life. Graves’s Jason is belligerent, energetic, and full of life, and the society Graves builds for him is outlandish and deeply invested in ancient cults. Against this primitive, religious backdrop, the charismatic Jason assembles a crew and sets out to retrieve the sacred gold-trimmed fleece that is sacred to Zeus, and that has been stolen by worshippers of the Triple Goddess. Accompanying him is Hercules, a brave warrior known more for his brawn, and his astonishingly good luck, than his brains. Robert Graves builds a compelling world that sets Hellenistic magic and mystery in a surprisingly gritty, realistic setting, a fascinating read for fans of Greek mythology. “A witty historical novel with much insider’s lore on cult and ritual.” —The New York Review of Books “Richly readable, thoroughly classical yet individually interpreted, this is a labor of love important to students, culture-seekers and readers.” —Library Journal

Like Jason and his Argonauts, humanitarians often seem to be looking for the Golden Fleece. This book analyzes humanitarian action over the past century and a half, with a view to understanding how humanitarian endeavors seem to have veered from the values of a past golden age of independence, impartiality and neutrality. As the contributors to this collection show, although humanitarian thinking and practice have evolved significantly over the past 150 years, this golden age is as imaginary as a Greek myth. The problems faced by the humanitarian enterprise today are not new but the appearance of humanitarianism in crisis may simply be owing to an increase in the number of worldwide crises, the vast growth of the humanitarian industry, more intense real-time scrutiny made possible by improved communication technologies, and the conditions, restrictions and expectations that this increased scrutiny has generated in the funding environment. Instead of embarking on a quixotic quest for a mythical ideal, the essays in this book provide historical context and real solutions to real problems that affect the lives of millions. Instead of looking to a mythic past, this collection invites us to look to a promising future.

Most people are pursuing an assumed correct philosophy, right marriage, right religious persuasion, right relationship etc. How many, like Jason, have found their Golden Fleece? The question begs: is there a yardstick to measure all philosophies? The pursuit of the identity of Jason revealed these gems: ancient secret libraries, the locations of Lost Tribes of Israel, a meta-code in the Temple of Solomon, and a spirit-level to test major doctrines. Also from the blueprint of Solomon's Temple, wisdom above 33¡ is released for the first time. From that wisdom, the following contentious issues can be resolved: 1) is the Universe a clock? 2) was it made or did it evolve? 3) debating evolution vs. creation. 4) is there a Great Architect of the Universe, called God Almighty? 5) the real causes of the Middle East conflict. 6) Christianity/Islam/Judaism, religious persuasions or pretexts for conflicts? Naturally, these timely revelations will stir up hornets nests of controversy, in that many perceived truths WILL BE upturned. The Golden Fleece Found allows doctrines held sacrosanct to be vetted against a true "spirit level." The most often asked, yet unanswered questions from over 100 countries are addressed in meticulous details. Veeeeerrrry interesting!!!!! Definitely a must read!

In Spain's Golden Fleece, Carla Rahn Phillips and William D. Phillips, Jr., offer the first authoritative history of Spain's vital wool industry. They show how wool was crucial both to Spain's domestic income and to the flourishing European textile industries that depended on the incomparable wool of Spanish Merino sheep. The authors begin by offering a broad and longterm look at the growth, dominance, and decline of the herding economy. They explain the components of wool production, from herding to shearing to preparing the wool for market. And they examine the evolution of the woolen textile industry in Spain and the export trade in raw wool.
