He was the primary god of the most prominent group of Urartian tribes, which eventually evolved into the Armenian nation. Hayk is considered the patriarch of the Armenians, and is indeed for this reason that Armenians call themselves Hay (pronounced haï). Hayk derives from the Urartian deity Khaldi, whose divide attributes he originally assumed with the constellation Orion. The well-known epic of Hayk's fight against Bell provides substantial proof that Hayk and his people stood up against Bel and halted the unrestrained influx of Semitic peoples from the south.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=The+Heritage+of+Armenian+Literature&rft.place=Detroit&rft.pages=65&rft.pub=Wayne+State+University+Press&rft.date=2005&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F42477084&rft.isbn=0814328156&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fheritageofarmeni00ajha%2Fpage%2F65&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHayk" class="Z3988"></span><span class="cs1-maint citation-comment"><code class="cs1-code">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">cite book</a>}}</code>: CS1 maint: others (<a href="/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_others" title="Category:CS1 maint: others">link</a>)</span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-:2-9"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-:2_9-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFAcharyan1946" class="citation encyclopaedia cs1">Acharyan, Hrachʻya (1946). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://nayiri.com/imagedDictionaryBrowser.jsp?dictionaryId=35&query=%D5%B0%D5%A1%D5%B5%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%A6">"Haykazn"</a>. <i>Hayotsʻ andznanunneri baṛaran</i>.
