In popular Georgian tradition, King Vakhtang is considered the founder of the city of Tiflis / Tbilisi. In fact, he intended to move the capital from Mtskheta to Tbilisi, but only his son Dachi managed to do this. Vakhtang's life is described in the work of the Georgian historian Chuanscher. Over the centuries, the tradition has been enriched with legends and has also inspired numerous folk songs and stories.
