In Greek mythology, Chrysomallos was a winged ram with golden fleece. Born of the sea God, Poseidon, and Themiso (or in some versions, Nephele), the ram was sacrificed to Poseidon, but some of Chrysomallos’ fleece was saved and kept in a sacred grove, guarded by a dragon. In the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, Jason and his troupe set out in search of the Golden Fleece that would allow Jason to ascend the throne in Thessaly. One of Pindar’s odes includes the following lines: ““Let the King do this, the captain of the ship! Let him do this, I say, and have for his own the immortal coverlet, the Fleece, glowing with matted skeins of gold.” Use your own “skeins of gold” to create this scarf and hat set.
