Abstract

Armenian king Tigran the Great was one of the most powerful kings in our history Descriptions of his life and work have been passed down from generation to generation and have reached our days. His royal and human virtues, which found their expression in the historical and philological works of Armenian and foreign historians and writers, have been wonderfully praised. And today we are trying to bring up those works from a historical perspective.

The article highlights the historicization of the image of Tigran the Great in literature using the historical-comparative method. All the royal and human qualities of Tigran the Great were praised in the presented works, which found their expression in the historical-philological works of Armenian writers. We have made an attempt to bring up these works and record the presence of historical facts under an artistic template. Giving the reader the opportunity to simultaneously interrelate the fiction play, poem, poem in the historical context, making it observable from a multi-faceted perspective. These works of art come to complete the knowledge and ideas we have in raising the image of the Armenian king and presenting it to the public.
