希臘北部國王阿塔瑪斯有兩個孩子，法瑞克斯和赫勒。當國王離開第一個妻子和一個名叫伊諾的壞女人結婚后，兩個孩子受到后母殘忍虐待，整個王國也受到毀滅性瘟疫的侵襲。伊諾在愛輕信的丈夫耳邊進讒言，終于使國王相信：他的兒子法瑞克斯是這次災害的罪魁禍首，并要將他獻給宙斯以結束瘟疫�？蓱z的孩子被推上了祭壇，將要被處死。正在此時，上帝派了一只渾身上下長著金色羊毛的公羊來將兩個孩子馱在背上帶走了。當他們飛過隔開歐洲和亞洲的海峽時，赫勒由于看到浩瀚的海洋而頭暈目眩，最終掉進大海淹死了。這片海洋古時候的名稱叫赫勒之海，赫勒拉旁海峽便由此而來。金色公羊馱著法瑞克斯繼續向前飛去，來到了黑海東岸的科爾契斯。在那里，法瑞克斯將公羊獻給了宙斯；而將金羊毛送給了埃厄忒斯國王。國王將羊毛釘在一棵圣樹上，并派了一條不睡覺的龍負責看護。
