According to Greek mythology, which of these were the Argonauts supposed to return to Greece?

In Greek mythology, the Golden Fleece is the fleece of the golden-woolled, winged ram, Chrysomallos, which was held in Colchis. The fleece is a symbol of authority and kingship. It figures in the tale of the hero Jason and his crew of Argonauts, who set out on a quest for the fleece by order of King Pelias, in order to place Jason rightfully on the throne of Iolcus in Thessaly. Through the help of Medea, they acquire the Golden Fleece. The story is of great antiquity and was current in the time of Homer (eighth century BC). It survives in various forms, among which the details vary.

I love studying all mythologies, especially Graeco-Roman.

Susannah Landis, the question was asked grammatically correct.

Susannah Landis, I would have asked, "What were the Argonauts supposed to bring back?" I did a double take upon seeing this question.

The area of Colchis was also known as an ancient and of witchcraft.

Golden Fleece was not one of my choices!!!!! so I got it wrong.

Susannah Landis

Strangely worded question. Took me awhile to know what was being asked. As worded, this should not have passed as a good question.

Complicated question that could have been simpler. I knew the answer but was confused by the phrasing of the question.

I travelled to Georgia and met a couple of the older villagers who still use this method of putting a sheep skin in the water. Georgia is beautiful country.
