David the Invincible

Armenian tradition makes him a native of Taron,[3] but this is not substantiated in contemporary sources and may be due to conflation with another person.

[3] David is said to have returned to his native Armenia later in life, where he was active as a teacher, but he came into conflict with the Armenian church and ultimately died in exile in Haghbat.

The works which can be attributed to him with certainty or at least with some plausibility are not scholarly treatises but propaedeutic (introductory) handbooks for use in teaching beginners.

Philologically, these translations are important representatives of the "Hellenizing" tradition (Yunaban dprots’) in Armenian literature of the 6th to 8th centuries.

[10] In 1978, a film about David the Invincible by Armenian director Levon Mkrtchyan was released by Armenfilm.
