In his appreciation of the tales, the late Professor Otar Lordkipandize perceives typological parallels between the tales and the Greek legends on the magic ram (e.g. the golden ram of Atreus, the ruler of Mycenae, the golden ram that brought Phrixus to Colchis). According to the present tales,the golden lamb and the golden ram are gods,their abode being on the mountain of Tsashi-Kibuli ('Ladder to the Sky') in Tsalenjikha district, Western Georgia.,."].
