Azon

from Charles Burnley & David Marshall Lang:

"

According to these annals [The Georgian Annals, Kartlis
tskhovreba "The life of Georgia"], Alexander [the Great] entrusted
the administration of Georgia to a relative of his by the name of
Azon (very likely a confusion with the name of Jason, of Argonaut
fame), who proved such a tyrant as to alienate not only the
Georgians, but even the Greeks whom he had brought with him. The
oppressed Georgians revolted under the lead of Parnavaz, a descendant
of Karthos, eponymous ancestor of the Kartvelian or Georgian nation,
after whom Sakatvelo, land of the Georgians, is named. This Parnavaz
was a nephew of Samara, patriarch of the Iberians of Mtskheta; with
the help of King Kuji of Colchis, Parnavaz drove out Azon and his
Greek mercenaries, and was recognized by the kings of Syria and
Armenia as legitimate ruler of Iberia.

"

An eponymous hero for the As people? The Vani state is in Colchis. Is
this another version of the war between the Aesir and the Vanir?
