Archileon

Saint Archileon was a monk and hermit of Greek origin, venerated as a saint in Sicily. Italian sources place him in the fourth and fifth centuries, but a Russian tradition calls him a disciple of the Apostle Peter, so his time remains uncertain.

He lived in Sicily and belongs among the hermit elders called "Calogeri", that is, "good old men". He is regarded as a historical figure, connected with the labors of Calogerus of Sicily, Onuphrius and Philip of Agira, who worked to spread Christianity on the island, within the great Italo-⁠Greek monastic movement of southern Italy. With Onuphrius he was sent to Paternò, where he spent his last years in retirement in a cave.

He is a patron of the town of Sutera, in the province of Caltanissetta, together with Saint Paulinus of Nola and Saint Onuphrius. His relics have lain since 1498 in the diocesan sanctuary of Saint Paulinus. He is commemorated on 12 June, by the Western calendar. His veneration is local, without a synodal canonization.
