GIANTS OF THESSALY (1960) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0053861/) - Italy made many sword and sandal movies in the late 50's and early 60's and this is one of them. It's Jason and the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece. Like JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963) without the work of Ray Harryhausen. In the film there is a perilous voyage, giant hairy cyclops, witch turn beauty, plenty of furious sword action, and Jason finding the Golden Fleece.

Giants of Rome
Rebel Gladiators

The Last Glory of Troy
Giants of Thessaly
Duel of the Champions
Colossus and the Amazon Queen

It even has some extras as a bonus:
