Sculpture of Medea - The monument to the hero of Greek mythology, the Colchis princess Medea is located next to the astronomical clock and the sculpture of Neptune. The statue was unveiled on July 6, 2007 by Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. It is believed that the Colchis civilization once existed on the territory of Adjara. Medea, the king's daughter, enchanted by his love for the Argonaut Jason, helped her steal a golden ram talisman for the welfare of her people. The couple escaped from the ship Argo, which is depicted in the statue. It is also well known that Medea was a doctor and pharmacist of her time, which is why science was called medicine in her honor. Today, the statue of Medea with its gilded golden talisman is a symbol of Georgia's wealth, prosperity and connection with the European world.

Very beautiful symbolic statue. A true homage to Greek mythology, for those who enjoy theese kind of legends Colchis (current Georgia) was an ancient kingdom from which a Greek king married a woman. Then he changed his mind and picked a new wife which tried to get rid of her stepchildren. Their mother attempted to save them by sending a golden ram across the Black sea to catch them but her daughter fell off the ram as it was flying back and only the son returned to Colchis. This is where the story of Jason and argonauts and their quest to recover the fleece begins as they venture into Colchis to recover this relic. Medea is a figure that helps them get it. The whole square is lovely! :)

"Batum şehrinin yeni sembollerinden Medea Heykeli, Kafkaslar’ın mitolojik yüzünü de temsil ediyor. Altın Post, Yunan mitolojisinde zenginliği, gücü ve iktidarı sembolize eder. M.Ö. 3. yüzyılda yaşamış Rodoslu şair Apollonios, Argonautika adlı ünlü eserinde Helen Iason ve Argonotların, Altın Post’u ele geçirmek için yaptıkları efsanevi yolculuğu anlatır. Esere göre, Medea, Kolhida kralı Aites’in kızıdır. Medea, Altın Post’u almaya gelen Helen Iason’a aşık olur. Ancak Kral Aites, Iason’un gerekli şartları yerine getirmesi halinde Altın Postu Yunanlılara vermeye razı olur. Iason önce ateş püskürten öküzlere boyun eğdirip, başlarına boyunduruk geçirecek ve büyük bir tarlayı sürecektir. Sonra Iason’un ejderhayı öldürmesi ve onun dişlerini toprağa ekmesi gerekir. Bu dişlerden savaşçılar çıkacaktır. Iason’un bu savaşçılarla savaşması ve onları yenmesi gerekir. Bunu Aites’in dışında kimse yapamayacaktır. Ancak Medea, aşık olduğu Iason’a yardım eder ve Altın Post’u almasını sağlar. Medea, Iason ile Kolhida’yı terk eder ve Yunanistan’a gider. Ancak yıllar sonra Iason başka bir kadınla evlenmek isteyince Medea, tekrar Kolhida Krallığı’na döner. Bu sefer de amcasını tahttan indirerek babasının yeniden tahta geçmesini sağlar. İşte yüzyıllar sonra bu güçlü kadın, Batum’da elinde Altın Post bulunan Medea heykeliyle yeniden canlandırılır"(raillife.com.tr)
