The only Golden Fleece I know of is the fleece of the winged ram, Chrysomallos. Jason and the Argonauts set out on a quest for the Golden Fleece in one of the mythalogical stories. Jason was the rightful king of Iolcus, but had been overthrown by his half brother, Pelias, years before. Upon returning to claim his thrown Jason was issued a challenge... Pelias tells Jason that in order to take his thrown Jason must go on a quest to find the Golden Fleece... which Jason did along with his fellow Argonauts in Argo...thier ship. As far as the English Translation of the Golden Fleece...the fleece is the woolen hair of a goat, or ram. In this instance the fleece stands for royal power, wealth and power.
