Poems depicting enmity and revenge in the mountains of Eastern Georgia

Abstract

In Georgian folklore, the concept of "enemy" is complex, because it contains many components. The oral materials of the mountaineers of Eastern Georgia should be managed by the commander and their neighbor, the son of some corner.

Tushian heroic poetry, like all heroic poetry in general, is characterized by the speech of its hero, the glorification and exaggeration of his heroism. She sings with great love and compassion to her beloved hero.

According to people's belief, a good servant has many enemies, and a bad servant has no enemies. Whether in a fight with an external enemy or in a domestic feud, which was going on for centuries, a point of view was gradually formed on what a heroic man should be, what he owed to his country and people.

The rules of taking revenge and taking blood were the main features of the Temur system, and this tradition was firmly observed in Temur Tushian as well. Tushian would spare no one the blood of his brother, and if he sought revenge on the enemy, he would fight to the last drop of blood.
