Life

Saint Achilles is commemorated in the Greek synaxarion on 24 April, as a hieromartyr, together with Eutexius.

Their names appear only in a brief mention in the "Small Euchologion or Hagiasmatarion", the 1959 edition of Apostoliki Diakonia, with no further information. Their commemoration is found nowhere else, and their existence and details could not be verified. Other calendars list the hieromartyrs Achilles, Felix and Fortunatus on the same day, but it is not known whether these are the same saints.

Commemorated the same day April 24
