Colchis

In ancient geography, Colchis (sometimes spelled also as Kolchis) (Greek: ??????, kŏl?kĬs; Georgian: კოლხეთი, Kolkheti) was a nearly triangular district in Caucasus. Now the western part of Georgia, it was in Greek mythology the home of Aeetes and Medea and the destination of the Argonauts. The ancient area is represented roughly by the present day Georgian provinces of Mingrelia, Imereti, Guria, Ajaria, Abkhazia, Svaneti, Racha, and also the modern Turkey?s Rize Province and parts of Trabzon and Artvin Province.
