Tork Angegh

A creature of unnatural strength and power, Tork was considered one of the great-grandsons of Hayk, the legendary patriarch of the Armenian people.

Taken in the context of Proto-Indo-European religions, it is conceivable that an etymological connection with Thor and Týr is more than a simple coincidence.

An analogy is frequently made with the Middle-Eastern god Nergal, also represented as an unattractive male.

Historian Movses Khorenatsi also states that he was a prince of that province, hence the references in Armenian history to Angegha tun (the House of Angegh).

It is also interesting to note that in the ancient Armenian translation of the Bible, the name of the Babylonian god Nargal (4 Kings 17: 30) is rendered Angegh.
