Kisah dan tradisi
Azhdahak adalah bentuk Armenia dari nama iblis Avesta Azhi Dahaka, dan dalam mitologi Armenia ia raja-naga, manusia-vishap. Para vishap, golongan naga tempat Azhdahak berada, hidup di gunung tinggi, danau besar, langit, dan awan; ketika naik ke langit atau turun ke danau, raungan mereka menakutkan penduduk. Gerakan azhdahak di bawah tanah dipercaya menyebabkan gempa, dan vishap yang hidup sampai seribu tahun dapat menelan seluruh dunia. Dalam mitologi Iran ia dipenjara di Gunung Damavand dan pada akhir zaman akan lepas, lalu akhirnya dikalahkan Fereydun. Dalam Sejarah Armenia, Movses Khorenatsi menyamakan Azhdahak dengan raja Media, Astyages; dalam epos Armenia kuno Vipasank ia raja bangsa Mar (Media) yang dikalahkan raja Armenia Tigran I. Bentuk Armenia Azhdahak dipinjam dari bahasa Parthia.
Azhdahak takes his name from Azhi Dahaka, a demon of the Avesta, and in Armenian myth he is a dragon-king, a man-vishap. The vishaps, the class of dragons Azhdahak belongs to, live in high mountains, great lakes, the sky and clouds; when they rise to the sky or come down to lakes, their roar terrifies people. The movement of azhdahaks underground was believed to cause earthquakes, and a vishap that lives to a thousand years can swallow the whole world. In Iranian mythology he is imprisoned in Mount Damavand and will break out at the end of time, to be finally defeated by Fereydun. In his History of Armenia, Movses Khorenatsi identified Azhdahak with the Median king Astyages; in the ancient Armenian epic Vipasank he is king of the Mars (Medes), defeated by the Armenian king Tigran I. The Armenian form Azhdahak was borrowed from Parthian.
