2324 Aramazd ENT_ARM_ARAMAZD reception_of Ahura Mazda ENT_ZOR_AHURA_MAZDA high Aramazd is the direct Armenian reception of Ahura Mazda; the name derives by regular Armenian sound change (Avestan Ahura Mazdā → Middle Iranian Ohrmazd → Armenian Aramazd). Both are supreme deities, creators of heaven and earth, and heads of the divine order. Russell (1987) pp. 78-120 establishes this derivation as the most linguistically and theologically secure connection in Armenian religious history. James R.

2325 Aramazd ENT_ARM_ARAMAZD syncretized_with Zeus ENT_ZEUS high Agathangelos §22 explicitly equates Aramazd with Zeus: "Aramazd, who is called Zeus among the Greeks, the father of all the gods." The equation reflects both functional similarity (supreme sky-father) and Hellenistic-period interpretatio Graeca applied to the Armenian court during the Artaxiad dynasty (189 BCE – 1 CE).

2326 Aramazd ENT_ARM_ARAMAZD parent_of Anahit ENT_ARM_ANAHIT high Agathangelos §22 and Khorenatsi II.12 both identify Anahit as the daughter of Aramazd. This is one of the defining structural features of the Armenian divine family. Agathangelos, History of the Armenians (Patmut'iwn Hayots'), 5th c. CE; trans. Robert W.

2327 Aramazd ENT_ARM_ARAMAZD parent_of Vahagn ENT_ARM_VAHAGN high Khorenatsi II.12 identifies Vahagn as the son of Aramazd, placing him in the divine family alongside Anahit and Nane.

2328 Aramazd ENT_ARM_ARAMAZD parent_of Nane ENT_ARM_NANE high Agathangelos §22 explicitly identifies Nane as "the daughter of Aramazd." The pairing of Aramazd as father with Anahit and Nane as his daughters is a defining feature of the Armenian pantheon. Agathangelos, History of the Armenians (Patmut'iwn Hayots'), 5th c. CE; trans.
