Historical map of the Argonauts' journey created by Abraham Ortelius in 1603. It is a colored engraving.
The map shows the route of the Argonauts' journey to Northern Europe. Led by Jason, they embarked on a long and adventurous journey on the ship Argo to retrieve the Golden Fleece from Colchis.

Abraham Ortelius (Latinized as Abrahamus Ortelius or Orthellius, from Flemish Abraham Oertel, Ortels, or Hortels) (Antwerp, April 14, 1527 – Antwerp, June 28, 1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Ortelius, along with Mercator, was the great founder of Flemish cartography and is remembered for publishing the first modern atlas.
