The fleece itself came from a golden ram, sent to rescue [[Phrixus]] and [[Helle]], the children of [[Athamas]] and the goddess [[Nephele]]. Phrixus' step-mother, [[Ino]] had plotted to have him sacrificed in a fit of jealousy. The ram carried Phrixus safely to Colchis, although Helle fell into the Hellespont (which was named after her).

Once at Colchis, Phrixus married the daughter of King [[Aeetes|Aeëtes]] and sacrified the ram, presenting the fleece to the king, who hung it from an oak tree. There it stayed, until stolen by Jason. <ref>"Golden Fleece."
