Другарче жалам, но немаш среќа ни овој пат.
Станува збор за Албаните и Иберите од Арменија.
He chose Tiridates, of the same stock as Artabanus, to be his rival, and the Iberian
Mithridates to be the instrument of recovering Armenia, having reconciled him to his brother Pharasmanes, who held the throne of that country.
Of the petty chiefs
Mithridates was the first to persuade Pharasmanes to aid his enterprise by stratagem and force, and agents of corruption were found who tempted the servants of Arsaces into crime by a quantity of gold. At the same instant the
Iberians burst into Armenia with a huge host, and captured the city of Artaxata. Artabanus, on hearing this, made his son Orodes the instrument of vengeance. He gave him the Parthian army and despatched men to hire auxiliaries. Pharasmanes, on the other hand,
allied himself with the Albanians, and procured aid from the Sarmatae, whose highest chiefs took bribes from both sides, after the fashion of their countrymen, and engaged themselves in conflicting interests. But the Iberians, who were masters of the various positions, suddenly poured the Sarmatae into Armenia by the
Caspian route. Meanwhile those who were coming up to the support of the Parthians were easily kept back, all other approaches having been closed by the enemy except one, between the sea and the
mountains on the Albanian frontier, which summer rendered difficult, as there the shallows are flooded by the force of the Etesian gales. The south wind in winter rolls back the waves, and when the sea is driven back upon itself, the shallows along the coast, are exposed.
Meantime, while Orodes was without an ally, Pharasmanes, now strengthened by reinforcements, challenged him to battle, taunted him on his refusal, rode up to his camp and harassed his foraging parties. He often hemmed him in with his picquets in the fashion of a blockade, till the Parthians, who were unused to such insults, gathered round the king and demanded battle. Their sole strength was in cavalry; Pharasmanes was also powerful in infantry,
for the Iberians and Albanians, inhabiting as they did a densely wooded country, were more inured to hardship and endurance.
They claim to have been descended from the Thessalians, at the period when Jason,
after the departure of Medea and the children born of her, returned subsequently to the empty palace of Aeetes, and the vacant
kingdom of Colchi. They have many traditions connected with his name and with the oracle of Phrixus. No one among them would think of sacrificing a ram, the animal supposed to have conveyed Phrixus, whether it was really a ram or the figure-head of a ship.

The eastern Black Sea city of Volni was part of the kingdom of Colchi, today's Georgia.
Medea (
Greek: Μήδεια,
Mēdeia)
is a woman in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of
King Aeëtes of Colchis, niece of
Circe, granddaughter of the sun god
Helios, and later wife to the hero
Jason, with whom she had two children:
Mermeros and Pheres. In
Euripides's play
Medea, Jason leaves Medea when
Creon, king of
Corinth, offers him his daughter,
Creusa or
Glauce. The play tells of how Medea gets her revenge on her husband for this betrayal.
The
myths involving Jason have been interpreted by specialists, principally in the past, as part of a class of myths that tell how the Hellenes of the distant heroic age, before the
Trojan War, faced the challenges of the pre-Greek "
Pelasgian" cultures of mainland Greece, the Aegean and Anatolia.
Jason,
Perseus,
Theseus, and above all
Heracles, are all "
liminal" figures, poised on the threshold between the old world of
shamans,
chthonic earth deities, and the new
Bronze Age Greek ways.
Medea figures in the myth of
Jason and the Argonauts, a myth known best from a late literary version worked up by
Apollonius of Rhodes in the 3rd century B.C. and called the
Argonautica. But for all its self-consciousness and researched archaic vocabulary, the late epic was based on very old, scattered materials.

Mithradates VI (
Greek: Μιθριδάτης), from Old Persian
Mithradatha, "gift of
Mithra"; b. 134, d. 63 BC, also known as
Mithradates the Great (
Megas) and
Eupator Dionysius, was king of
Pontus and Armenia Minor in northern Anatolia (now in
Turkey) from about 119 to 63 BC.
Mithradates was a king of Greek and Persian origin, and claimed descent from Alexander the Great and King Darius the Great. Both spellings of his name were used in antiquity; Mithridates was favored by the Romans, while Mithradates follows Greek inscriptions and highlights the association with the ancient
Persian god Mithra.

Значи освен што ми ги потврдуваш моите аргументи доаѓаме до се почести варијации на имиња: Албани, Албанополис, Арбани, Аргонаути, Митридити... сите од Кавказ.
После не ми замерувајте кога самите си ги местите тие теории дека сте од Кавказ.
Да надополнам:
Iberia (
Georgian —
იბერია,
Latin:
Iberia and
Greek:Ἰβηρία), also known as
Iveria (
Georgian: ივერია), was a name given by the ancient
Greeks and
Romans to the ancient
Georgian kingdom of
Kartli[1] (
4th century BC - 5th century AD), corresponding roughly to the eastern and southern parts of
the present day Georgia.
