Zydretae
In today's world, Zydretae has captured the attention of millions of people around the world. Whether due to its impact on society, its historical relevance or its influence on popular culture, Zydretae has become a constant topic of conversation today. As we explore the various aspects and facets that make up Zydretae, it becomes evident that its importance and scope are significant on multiple levels. In this article, we will examine in detail the various aspects of Zydretae and how it has left an indelible mark on contemporary society.
The Zydretae (Georgian: ზიდრიტები) (Zudrêtai or Zudreitai) were an ancient people of Colchis recorded by the Classical accounts as dwelling on the coast of the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea), on the southern side of the Apsarus river (modern-day Çoruh/Chorokhi in the borderlands of Turkey and Georgia), and between the Machelonoi and the Lazi tribes. The early 2nd century Roman author Arrian lists several neighboring and probably ethnically related tribes on a west to east orientation: the Sannoi (Sanigs), Drilae, Machelonoi, Heniochoi, Zudreitai, and Lazoi (Perip. 1 1.1-2). The anonymous (probably post-4th century) Periplus Ponti Euxini places them further south between the Akamosis and Archabis rivers.[1] Little is known about the Zydretae's social and political life, but at that time when Arrian described them (c. 130s AD), they seem to have been subjected to the king of Iberia in eastern Georgia.
