# Das goldene Vließ

By Franz Grillparzer.

"Das goldene Vließ" by Franz Grillparzer is a dramatic trilogy written between 1818-1820. This expansive retelling of the ancient Argonaut myth follows the cursed golden fleece across three interconnected tales. From Phryxus's betrayal and murder in barbaric Colchis, through Jason's quest and forbidden love with the sorceress Medea, to her tragic exile and devastating revenge in Greece, the work explores themes of loyalty, cultural collision, and destiny's cruel demands as the fleece passes from hand to bloodstained hand.
