The
Golden
Fleece
After ‘to love’,
the most beautiful verb
in the world is ‘to help’.
Bertha von Suttner
Sent by the god Hermes , he
winged golden-haired ram
Chrysomeles carries the roy-
al children Phrixus and Helle
over the sea on his back to save
them from their evil stepmother
Ino. Once they have reached
their destination, a temple is
erected in honor of the help-
ful ram. Hung on an oak tree
and guarded by a dragon, its
golden pelt is worshipped as
a sacred relic. The Argonaut
Jason, sent to steal the Golden
Fleece, achieves this with the
help of the sorceress Medea.
But it does not bring them hap-
piness. Those motivated solely
by greed and self-interest will
never know the satisfaction of
altruistic kindness.
