Georgian Folk Traditions and Legends is a sweeping collection of more than 200 myths, folktales, and heroic epics. This book is about the Georgian folk traditions and legends and brings to light treasures of rich oral traditions of the country, almost unknown in the west. Georgia, a cradle of civilization, traces its roots back to the 4th century BC when King Parnavaz I established the first eastern Georgian kingdom and created the Georgian alphabet. Converted to Christianity in 337 AD, Georgia became one of the world’s earliest Christian nations, and its literary tradition began as early as the 5th century.
