It is a moment frozen in time from Jason's quest for the legendary Golden Fleece around 1200 BC. As we gaze upon this image, we witness an exchange filled with anticipation and hope. Jason stands tall and proud as he arrives on his majestic ship, sailing towards Cyzicus' kingdom. His arrival is met with great excitement as Cyzicus extends his hand in greeting, symbolizing their newfound alliance. The details captured within this engraving are truly remarkable.
