Dies ist das Verbreitungsgebiet der Tiger. In Armenien gab es historisch gesehen Tiger, nämlich Kaspische Tiger. Gibt es in der armenischen Literaturgeschichte literarische Quellen oder Berichte darüber?

  1. Lions yes many myths and legends and the fact some Armenian flags had variations of lions.

    Leopards still exist and had more of a central role in culture depictions can be found all over especially Orbelian Dynasty stuff.

    Tigers I can’t think of off the top of the head maybe someone else knows. It’s thought that most of the lions and tigers were pretty much eradicated in the Middle East by late antiquity. So not a lot to go off of.

  2. busystepdad on

    Vakhtang Ananyan mentiones a story of Ako who was famous for killing a tiger in his „Hunting stories“. it’s being mentioned as a folklore and part of hunter’s memoirs.

    Not related, but when I was a kid I was immersed in his books for weeks, cause it was soo interesting.

  3. The Knight in the Panther’s Skin, a Georgian poem from the 12th century mentions panthers, tigers and lions.
