Ljubljana je že od svojega nastanka povezana s književnostjo; nastanek Emone, ki po mitskem izročilu sega v 13. stoletje pr. n. št., je npr. povezan z mitom o Argonavtih, Jazonu in iskanju zlatega ...runa. V procesu literarne recepcije je antični mit postal tudi pravljični tip ATU 513A po H.-J. Utherjevem motivnem indeksu pravljic. Motiv zlatega runa je prek mitskega pomena živali (zlata volna) postal nadčasovni simbol iskanja (nedosegljivega) v slovenski (J. V. Valvasor, A. T. Linhart, F. Prešeren, R. Rehar, J. Olaj, J. Kastelic, M. Jesih, J. Rode) in slovenski mladinski književnosti (npr. J. Jalen: Bobri), predvsem v slikaniški knjižni obliki (D. Zajc: Argonavti, A. Komat: Vila Jezerka, D. Muck: Kokoš velikanka), z različnimi pomeni in v kombinaciji z različnimi mitskimi, pravljičnimi in realističnimi simboli živali.
