2.3. Symbols of the Earth Goddesses
As well known, astral deities are functionally closely connected
to terrestrial deities.
The Colchian Great Mother Goddess [Nana], who is
connected to Sumerian Goddess Nana/Inanna, is the Mother of
Earth, the Mother of Place, the goddess of fertility and giving
life. In the Georgian pantheon the cult of Barbale-Sun merged
into it, and the Sun became the feminine deity (Bardavelidze
2006, 131; also see Nadiradze 1989, 21).
