Monument to Tork Angegh in Yerevan, Armenia, by sculptor Karlen Nurinjanyan.
Tork Angegh (Armenian: Տորք Անգեղ, romanized: Tork’ Angeġ) is a deity of strength, courage, manufacturing and the arts in Armenian mythology. A creature of unnatural strength and power, Tork was considered one of the great-grandsons of Hayk, the legendary patriarch of the Armenian people. He was reportedly represented as an unattractive male figure. He is mentioned by the early Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi and is considered one of the significant deities of the Armenian pantheon prior to the time when it came under influence by Iranian and Hellenic religion and mythology. Taken in the context of Proto-Indo-European religions, it is conceivable that an etymological connection with Thor and Týr is more than a simple coincidence.
An analogy is frequently made with the Middle-Eastern god Nergal, also represented as an unattractive male.
