fleecing the fleece

Strabo describes the way in which gold could be washed: "It is said that in their country gold is carried down by the mountain torrents, and that the barbarians obtain it by means of perforated troughs and fleecy skins, and that this is the origin of the myth of the golden fleece—unless they call them Iberians, by the same name as the western Iberians, from the gold mines in both countries." yes fleeces have been used top carry objects and materials like gold. Another interpretation is based on the references in some versions to purple or purple-dyed cloth. The purple dye extracted from snails of the Murex and related species was highly prized in ancient times. Clothing made of cloth dyed with Tyrian purple was a mark of great wealth and high station (hence the phrase “royal purple”). The association of gold with purple is natural and occurs frequently in literature.[15] in charchra lights pirple is the step to gold and often are connected. the ancient keepers of the fleece may have worn purple clocks but this is not the interpretation of the fleece or why it is considered golden as was not the idea of golden metal flakes on said fleece But archeologists have rejected these interpretations as ahistorical. Trying to construct a most plausible explanation by locating it in what is known of the culture instead points to the interpretation that the golden fleece represents the ideas of kingship and legitimacy. Jason must journey to find it, in order to restore legitimate rule to Iolcos.[16] scholars seem to agree with our interpretation that it represents a unirt and rite of passage that caused the nations to experience a rite of passage that jason later had to experience to have an age pass as he and the peoples evolved passed through, the fleece is thousands of years before hason, homer says years but before penelope existed and that adds to our idea that the argos is the covenant box of the greekls of that age filled with thier great heroes that helped unify and protect people in the age of the argo whioch was unified with the fleece creating a new age and people. to the story od the argos and to see what we find next week peace
