Legends of Armenia are innumerable, but in this article, we are going to present you the legends of Armenian mountains.<\/p>\n<p>It is said that Armenian mountains were once giant and robust brothers. Every morning, after waking up they would first wear their belts and then greet each other. Time passed and the brothers got old and it was hard for them to wake up early in the morning. One day after waking up, they greeted each other, forgetting to put on their belts. God got angry when he saw this and decided to punish the brothers by turning them into mountains. Their belts turned into green fields, and their tears flowed forming crystal-clear springs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33466\" style=\"width: 1209px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33466\" class=\"wp-image-33466 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?resize=1199%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"legends of armenia\" width=\"1199\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?w=1199&amp;ssl=1 1199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC_8403.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-33466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mountains of Armenia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The mountains are majestic natural monuments.

The legends of Armenia embody the national identity of the people, thereby giving the mountains a symbolic meaning.

The story of Ara the Beautiful tells how the Assyrian queen Semiramis fell deeply in love with Ara. She wanted to unite Assyria and Armenia and rule these two kingdoms together with her beloved. However, all her efforts were in vain, as Ara was not interested in her. Semiramis\u2019 heart was broken and she declared war on Armenia, hoping in this way to get Ara the Beautiful. The battle took place on the slopes of the mountain. To the horror of Semiramis, Ara was killed. Semiramis did not want to accept the fact that Ara was no longer alive and ordered to take his body to the top of the mountain, where the Aralezes, mythical dog-like creatures with healing powers, would lick his wounds and bring him back to life. This story is probably inspired by the shape of the mountain, which, if you look carefully, resembles the silhouette of a lying man.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7834\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/0-151.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7834\" class=\"wp-image-7834 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/0-151.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"legends of armenia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/0-151.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/0-151.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/0-151.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/0-151.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mountain Ara<\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2lfahj8-420506537c00b460df4444e63b97aa4b\">\n#top .hr.av-2lfahj8-420506537c00b460df4444e63b97aa4b{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-2lfahj8-420506537c00b460df4444e63b97aa4b .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#686868;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-2lfahj8-420506537c00b460df4444e63b97aa4b .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#686868;\n}\n.hr.av-2lfahj8-420506537c00b460df4444e63b97aa4b .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#686868;\nstroke:#686868;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2lfahj8-420506537c00b460df4444e63b97aa4b hr-custom  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>Mount Azhdahak<\/h3>\n<p>The name of the mountain comes from the antagonist of a story, Azhdahak, the king of Media. In this legend, Azhdahak had a dream, in which he saw a woman on the mountain. This woman gave birth to three men: one was riding a lion, the other was riding a leopard, and the third was riding a dragon. The one on the dragon attacked Media. Azhdahak believed that this dream meant that Tigran, the king of Armenia, was planning an attack on the Median kingdom. The Median king decided to marry Tigran\u2019s sister, Tigranuhi, as a way of attempting to thwart Tigran\u2019s plans. However, it did not work as Tigranuhi saw through the plan of Azhdahak, and the war broke out. In the end, Tigran killed Azhdahak, liberated his sister, enslaved Azhdahak\u2019s first wife, Anuysh, and let her live in Armenia, on the eastern slopes of Masis (Ararat).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7786\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1011594_642029432483650_1567212730_n.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7786\" class=\"wp-image-7786 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1011594_642029432483650_1567212730_n.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"legends of armenia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Azhdahak<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Why are these stories associated with these two mountains?

Aragats curses Masis as well, so that nobody in the world would ever climb its peak. Their curses come true, the tears of Aragats turn into lakes on its slopes, and Masis becomes an abandoned mountain. Despite the fact that according to legend Masis is an abandoned mountain, many people climbed to its top and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11386\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/zorik2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11386\" class=\"wp-image-11386 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/zorik2.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"legends of armenia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/zorik2.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/zorik2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/zorik2.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/zorik2.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mountain Aragats<\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1gpjfc4-a2178aba2542ac43e4d478977b20f21c\">\n#top .hr.av-1gpjfc4-a2178aba2542ac43e4d478977b20f21c{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-1gpjfc4-a2178aba2542ac43e4d478977b20f21c .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#686868;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-1gpjfc4-a2178aba2542ac43e4d478977b20f21c .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#686868;\n}\n.hr.av-1gpjfc4-a2178aba2542ac43e4d478977b20f21c .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#686868;\nstroke:#686868;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1gpjfc4-a2178aba2542ac43e4d478977b20f21c hr-custom  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>Artos and Arnos Mountains<\/h3>\n<p>When the Noah\u2019s Ark reaches the <strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/artos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Artos<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0he bursts into tears.

Since ancient times, this mountain has been a place of prayers and pilgrimage.<\/p>\n<p>On the slopes of Mount Khustup, near the stream called Kozni, lie the relics of the Armenian commander Garegin Nzhdeh.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11842\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11842\" class=\"wp-image-11842 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"legends of armenia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Khustup<\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-pskgas-09ddfb539e5e8e5ad2229352e7a2b7e8\">\n#top .hr.av-pskgas-09ddfb539e5e8e5ad2229352e7a2b7e8{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-pskgas-09ddfb539e5e8e5ad2229352e7a2b7e8 .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#686868;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-pskgas-09ddfb539e5e8e5ad2229352e7a2b7e8 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#686868;\n}\n.hr.av-pskgas-09ddfb539e5e8e5ad2229352e7a2b7e8 .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#686868;\nstroke:#686868;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-pskgas-09ddfb539e5e8e5ad2229352e7a2b7e8 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>Mount Dizapayt<\/h3>\n<p>The legend has it that at the top of the mountain, on the place of the Kataro Monastery, the children of King Sanesan (the head of the nomadic Massagetae tribe) and many Christian people were killed in the 330s.
