Sisak is the legendary ancestor of the Armenian princely house of Syuni, also called Siunids, Syunid and Sewnie. According to Movses Khorenatsi, Sisak is considered to be the grandson of the eponym Hayk. Sisak is believed to be an imaginary forefather, whose name was deduced from the form Sisakan.
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.
