Well, obviously the *myth* of the Golden Fleece comes from the Greeks and one myth is as valid as any other. However the Order of the Golden Fleece played an important role in the history of the Duchy of Burgundy under Philip the Good. It was one of the primary knightly orders of that era. The perception of the myth vis a vis the character of Jason was significant enough that two important Burgundian officials tried making certain changes to the myth, eventually replacing Jason with Gideon and the having a great tapestry produced. It's a tradition that lasted for centuries I don't see that as a poor argument. I see it as a situation where the modern investigator does not fully appreciate the significance perceived by individuals living during times relevant to the matter under consideration.
The beginnings of this certainly occurred within the dates derived from single-source interpretation - just as the clothing does. The investigation of the Golden Fleece is also paired with the investigation of the Agnus Dei (BNF Fr. 13096 f18). The comparison, as usual, is based of structure of the illustrations, *not* on their appearance. And the text in question was in the library of Philip the Good.
If something that happened in 1420 was remembered and drawn in 1435, are you saying that there is a way to tell the difference from a drawing that was contemporary with the 1420 event? What is it??
