Talk:Azhi Dahaka

This page probably needs to be merged with Zahak page, since they cover the same character.

In Armenian, the name Astyages is Azhdahak. Is there an etymological connection?--Eupator 22:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Azhdahak ("dragon") is certainly from Azhi Dahaka, but the Hellenized name Astyages is not -- it's thought to be from *Arshtivaiga. RandomCritic 01:34, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
