64	Vahagn	Armenian	syncretized_with	Heracles	Greek	high	Agathangelos §22 explicitly equates Vahagn with Heracles at his Ashtishat temple: "Vahagn, who is called Heracles among the Greeks."

Khorenatsi I.31 (the birth hymn) presents Vahagn's primal fire-birth as a hero of cosmic scope, consistent with the Heracles equation.	SRC_AGATHANGELOS_HISTORY
