The Golden Fleece: A Dramatic Poem in Three Parts (German: Das goldene Vließ. Dramatisches Gedicht in drei Abteilungen) is a trilogy of tragedy plays by the Austrian writer Franz Grillparzer, consisting of The Guest-friend (German: Der Gastfreund), The Argonauts (German: Die Argonauten) and Medea. It is based on the Greek myths of Jason, the Argonauts and Medea. Grillparzer's major sources were the Argonautica by Apollonius of Rhodes and Medea by Euripides.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The three plays were first staged at the Burgtheater in Vienna on 26 and 27 March 1821. Medea was published in English translation in 1879 and the entire trilogy in 1942.[7]
