Abstract
According to a Greek myth which tells about Jason leading the Argonauts to Colchis in quest of the Golden Fleece, one of them, became one of the forefathers of the Armenians. This myth originated the theory that Armenians came from the west. It is generally accepted now that the legend of the Golden Fleece in reality speaks of the Greeks searching for gold, copper, iron and other metals in Colchis. The article discusses the fact that the Armenian Plateau was one of the most ancient metallurgic centers of the world, and that the Armenians were one of the first metallurgic culturers of the area. And based on linguistic evidence the author reaches the conclusion that "Hai", "Armen", "Somekhi", "Fla" (all names given to Armenians) mean metallurgist.
