Georgia’s own mythological hero, Amirani, was chained in a cave for defying the gods. But unlike Prometheus, Amirani does not die. An eagle gnaws at his liver, but every night it regenerates. He is not allowed to die – he is cursed to suffer forever . The Georgian lesson: Be careful what you wish for. Immortality in the Caucasian tradition is often a burden. True eternal life is not about endless years but about meaningful existence within the cycle of community.
