Vahagn Vishapakagh (
Vahagn the Dragon Reaper) or
Vahakn was a god of fire and war worshiped anciently and historically in
Armenia. Some time during Ancient history, he formed a "triad" with
Aramazd and
Anahit. Vahagn was identified with the
Greek deity
Heracles. The priests of Vahévahian temple, who claimed Vahagn as their own ancestor, placed a statue of the Greek hero in their sanctuary. In the Armenian translation of the Bible, "Heracles, worshipped at Tyr" is renamed "Vahagn".
