The quest for a magical object, the ship for an impossible journey, the crew for a remarkable story...
The Argonauts and their search for the Golden Fleece has been one of the most enduring myths in history, told and retold for well over 2500 years. But what did the Greeks themselves make of this tale? Where did the fleece come from, how did you find it, who guarded it, and how could you steal it?
Join Natalie Haynes, star of Radio 4's Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics - now in its 11th series - to find out.
