In Movses Khorenatsi's History of Armenia, Ara the Handsome is presented as the son of Aram and a descendant of Hayk, the legendary forefather of the Armenians.[27] Khorenatsi writes that Ara the Handsome had a son called Cardos by his wife, Nuard (Nvard). He was later renamed Ara by Semiramis because of her love for the late Ara. Ara/Cardos, who was twelve years old at the time of his father's death, was appointed ruler of Armenia by Semiramis and later died in a war against her.
