Gold jewelry found last year in an unplundered Mycenaean
royal tomb on the outskirts of Volos will be tested for
links with one of the most enduring ancient Greek myths,
the Argonauts' expedition, an archaeologist said yesterday.
The 14th century BC treasure — gold beads from necklaces
and jewelry made of gold and semiprecious stones — was
found with vases and other offerings in four pits inside
the tholos tomb, a beehive-like subterranean structure
usually associated with Late Bronze Age royal burials.
According to local antiquities director Vassiliki Adrimi-
Sismani, the Culture Ministry has approved tests, to be
conducted by June with Louvre Museum experts, to determine
the gold's provenance. "We want to investigate to what
extent our area had contacts with the Black Sea, that is
to what extent the myth of the Argonauts and the Golden
Fleece has to do with the gold we found," she said. The
myth tells how King Jason of Iolkos, near Volos, led an
expedition to Colchis, in modern Georgia, to steal a
golden ram's skin. This may allude to trade deals with
the gold-rich region.

Nu-monet -- this reminds me, I still have those Hydra's Teeth that you
gave me in Amsterdam in 2000. I am holding onto them for when they're
TRULY needed. I am SO glad I didn't use them the other night when that
cop pulled me over, since all he wanted was to warn me about a
tail-light that was out. I can just see these 7 skeletons slaying that
Cleveland Heights cop and then standing around on Euclid Heights
Boulevard waiting to be told who next.

You smugg..., uh, brought them back through CUSTOMS!?!
It might be a really, really good idea to not keep them
in your car while driving around.
