Abstract
“The Martyrdom of Eustathius of Mtskheta” is the second oldest work
in Georgian literature after “The Martyrdom of Shushanik” by Iakob Tsurtaveli
(it should also be noted that there are different opinions about the
dating of Georgian hagiographic works. Among them, some scientists
share the opinion regarding the new dating of “The Martyrdom of Kolael
Children”; about the antiquity of the stories depicting different eras included in “Life of Kartli”, including parts of “Pharnavaziani” and “Life of
Nino”, etc.). The political, social, religious and cultural aspects of the 6th
century Kartli are conveyed in the work. During the scientific study of the
text, several important key issues were identified, about which there are
differences of opinion (I. Javakhishvili, A. Harnack, K. Kekelidze, M. Andronikashvili,
I. Assmann and H. Strom, Sh. Nutsubidze, T. Chkonia, B. Kilanava,
S. Sigua, L. Menabde, E. Gabidzashvili, M. Chkhartishvili, Metreveli, G.
Kuchukhidze, etc.). “The Martyrdom of Eustathius of Mtskheta”, as one of
the earliest hagiographical works, on the initiative of Ivane Javakhishvili,
arouses interest in German scientific circles. In 1901, the text translated
by Ivane Javakhishvili was published in German, edited by Adolf Harnack.
“The Martyrdom of Eustathius of Mtskheta” by an unknown author
reveals the important influences of Mazdaism. In particular, the Mazdian
funeral ritual is found in the work. In the paper, we will talk about the
connection of Zoroastrianism, as the next stage of Mazdaism, in connection
with “The Martyrdom of Eustathius of Mtskheta”.
