The legend has it that he was a son of Targamos and, thus, brother of Haos , Movakos, Lekos, Heros , Kavkasos, and Egros from whom other Caucasian peoples took their origin. Kartlos united his people to become their chieftain and founded the city of Kartli. He had several sons – Mcxetos, Gardabos, Kakhos, Kukhos, Gachios, Uphlos, Odzrkhos, Javakhos – who became eponymous founders and the first rulers of Mtskheta , Gardabani , Kakheti , Kukheti , Gachiani , Uplistsikhe , Odzrkhe , and Javakheti , respectively. The 3rd-century BC Iberian king Pharnavaz claimed his descend from Kartlos, being called ''Kartlosiani'' (Kartlosid) after him. EXTERNAL LINK |
