The “Gold-rich Colchis"—Myth and Reality—another very interesting guest of our traditional meetings, Nino Lortkipanidze, an archaeologist, presented on this subject.
-Exploring the Argonauts myth through narrative depictions
-Presenting interpretations of significant elements with a focus on the symbolism of the Golden Fleece
-Examining archaeological discoveries from Colchis dating back to the 8th–3rd centuries BC, provides a clear illustration of why ancient literature refers to Colchis as "gold-rich"
Our students found the discussion on these subjects particularly interesting.
