Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Golden Fleece

Final Jeopardy Explanation

Chrysomallus refers to a mythical flying ram in Greek mythology that possessed a fleece made of golden wool. This legendary item is commonly known as the Golden Fleece. In Latin, “Yellus Aureum” is a translation of Golden Fleece.

The Golden Fleece is famously sought after in the tale of Jason and the Argonauts, where it was kept in a sacred grove and guarded by a dragon. Securing this fleece was a herculean task that was supposed to prove the worth and heroism of the one who could obtain it. The fleece itself is often interpreted as a symbol of authority, kingship, or a divine blessing.
