Sisak (Template:Lang-hy) is the legendary ancestor of the Armenian princely house of Syuni, also called Siunids, Syunid and Sewnie. The fifth century Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi remembers Sisak as the son of Gegham and the grandson of the legendary patriarch of the Armenians, Hayk. Gegham had taken up residence near Lake Sevan and, following his death, the lands encompassing the areas from Lake Sevan to the Araks River were inherited by Sisak. The region assumed Sisak's name (Template:Lang-hy; Sisakan) after he died.
According to Robert H. Hewsen,
Sisak, brother of Harma and son of Gegham, can only be another eponym, and a late one at that. Sisak is said to have been the ancestor of the princes of Siwnik', a province on the southern border of Geghak’uni. It was called Sisakan by the Sasanids (who ruled Persia from 226 to 637 A.D.); this term was unknown to Armenian historiography before the seventh century A.D. and was first used by a Syrian writer only in the sixth century.
