Talk:Tigranes the Great

message: Why is this ruler called Tigranes I in Wikipedia, when the books I've been reading call him Tigranes II?  Is this because he was the first Tigranes to rule the Seleucid empire, but not the first to rule Armenia?  Does anyone know? Isomorphic 03:17, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: The following passage from Iranica clarifies on their evident confusion:
The Armenian historical tradition (found chiefly in Ps.-Movsês Xorenac'i) represented the earlier, national Artaxiads  and the Armenian Arsacids as their direct continuation, creating thus an imbroglio from the effects of which Armenian historiography has only recently succeeded in freeing itself. A list of the Arsacid kings of Armenia will be found at the end of this article.

thread_title: File:TigranStatue.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: The following text is currently in the article:
 Lucullus' reaction was an attack that was so precipitate that he took Tigranes by surprise. According to Roman historians Mithrobazanes, one of Tigranes' generals, told Tigranes of the Roman approach. Tigranes was, according to Keaveney, so impressed by Mithrobazanes' courage that he appointed Mithrobazanes to command an army against Lucullus – Mithrobazanes was however defeated and killed.
Is the courage unexplainedly attributed to Mithrobazanes because a previous messenger had lost his head for warning of Lucullus' approach? Or is that story here being garbled in a different way? Andyvphil (talk) 08:58, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Where was Tigran the great born?
:According to the Armenian Wikipedia article about him, he was born in Arzanene. No source is given, though, so make of that what you will. English sources don't seem to make any mention of his birthplace. Yunshui 雲水 15:56, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

message: It it possible that Aryazate was married to Orodes and not to Gotarzes? This seems chronologically more likely than her marrying gotarzes. In such case the scribe would have made a mistake 2A00:23EE:1560:3989:86DA:516E:C7A2:A843 (talk) 08:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
