'Dawn was radiating over the earth when they (Jason and Medea) reached the assemblage. The young men were astonished seeing the great fleece gleaming like a thunderbolt of Zeus, and each one ran to touch it and take it into his hands. Jason restrained them and covered it with a newly woven robe.' From Apollonios' Argonautica. Book 4:183-88.

'And as it was coiling, the girl (Medea) looked straight at its eyes, and in a soft voice called Sleep, highest of the gods, to tame the beast, and invoked the queen of the underworld, the night-walker, to grant a favorable cause. Jason followed in fear, but the snake, already enchanted by her song, was relaxing the long spine of its earthborn coils and stretching out its myriad spirals, like a dark wave when it rolls deaf and soundless on a quiet sea. But all the same, it raised up its horrific head, eager to clasp them both in its deadly jaws. But she dipped a freshly cut spring of juniper into a potion and sprinkled powerful drugs in its eyes as she sang incantations, and all around the pervasive scent of the drug was casting sleep. It laid its jaw to rest on the spot, and those countless spirals lay stretched out far behind through the dense woods. Then, at Medea's command, he took the golden fleece from the oak tree, while she stood fast and kept rubbing the head of the beast with the drug, until Jason himself told her to turn back toward their ship, and she left the shadowy grove of Ares.' From Apollonios' Argonautica. Book 4:144-66.
