Myth 1 – Jason and the Argonauts; Part 1 of 2 – The History of Saqartvelo Georgia
Gamarjoba everyone! Pleasure to have you back here. This is part of our myth series, where we will take a look at different myths of Georgian origin, that involve Georgians, or are just plain old awesome Georgian tales. We begin with Jason and the Argonauts, because it takes place in Colchis. I took the time out and wrote it out in my own style, in a more fast-paced, info filled version. My version of the Argonautica was 140 pages, so I couldn’t justify reading all of that to you. Georgian tales will be translated and read out though, since I don’t want to lose any info on those.

Myth 1 – Jason and the Argonauts; Part 2 of 2 – The History of Saqartvelo Georgia
Gamarjoba everyone! Welcome to Part 2! Here we’ll be having a discussion with our Editor: Brendan Foster, about, well many things. The Argonautica for sure, and us going into how it applies to the Georgian identity with a series of tangents as well.
