| Comment | Elguja Maghtradze: “It is well known, that the mother of a famous Roman poet – Vergil, used to dream, that she was going to bear a laurel branch while carrying Vergil in her womb. The mother of Alexander the Great (Macedonian) - Olympiad, pregnant on Alexander, before bearing the great commander, clearly pictured that she was carrying glowing chars in her womb”. (pg.8) |
