Happy to do what Jason wanted? (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden fleece

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jason wanted?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'happy to do' is the wordplay.
'happy' becomes 'golden' (similar in meaning).
'to do' becomes 'fleece' (both can mean to scam).
'golden'+'fleece'='GOLDEN FLEECE'

'what' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for golden fleece that I've seen before include "Item taken by Jason and the Argonauts" , "Argonauts sought it (Gk. myth)" , "What Jason sought" , "Object of Jason's quest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
