Description

Golden Fleece - the skin (with fur) of the mythical winged golden ram Chrysomallos - the goal of the Argonauts' expedition. It was hung on an oak tree in Ares' grove, where it was guarded by a dragon. Jason took them from there.
Chrysomallos was exiled by Zeus to the fleeing children of Atmas - Helle and Frixos. Frixus sacrificed him to Zeus.
I always thought that Aries, which is my zodiacal sign, has just few unpopular galaxies and a very bright Hamal only. But it turns out that I found the famous Golden Fleece there. It is a pity that there are so few photos of this region.
One of the main goals of my autumn trip to the Bieszczady Mountains, finally released 🙂
