Culturally, this metaphorical sea serves as a refuge and a mirror. Georgia has been invaded, partitioned, and dominated by Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, and Russians. Its physical territory has been repeatedly redrawn. Yet, the sea of language has remained sovereign. The 20th-century Georgian poet Galaktion Tabidze, known as the “Georgian Lorca,” navigated these waters masterfully. In his poem “The Blue Horse,” the sea is not merely a setting but a state of being—an irrational, beautiful, tragic expanse that reflects the Georgian soul. When he writes of the sea, he is not mapping the coast of Batumi; he is mapping the inner tides of his people, which no foreign power can ever drain or conquer.

Unlike the epic sagas of Nordic seafarers, which detail voyages and battles, Georgian sea songs often personify the sea as a capricious, maternal, or grieving figure. In the highland regions of Svaneti or Khevsureti, far from any coast, songs about the sea persist—a testament to the power of linguistic imagination. These songs use the sea as a symbol for the unknown, for exile, or for the afterlife. To sing of the sea in Qartulad is to invoke a collective dream, a shared subconscious where every Georgian, regardless of their distance from the shore, is a speaker of the tide.

Could the sea beyond Qartulad ever be brought back into the fold? Climate change may force the issue. As the Black Sea warms and Georgia’s coastline becomes more valuable for trade, energy, and tourism, a new generation of Georgian mariners, marine biologists, and environmental lawyers is coining terms. Zghvis ambebi (“sea stories”) is becoming a minor genre on social media.
