Diomedes

Holy Martyr Diomedes received the crown of martyrdom by being tied to a plane tree and shot with arrows until he died, together with Saint Laurence. The verses of the synaxarion speak of two athletes of Christ bound to the same tree, whose bodies were the target of the bows.

The place and time of the suffering are not preserved in the sources consulted, and the name Diomedes was borne by several saints. The Greek synaxarion commemorates him with Laurence on 28 August (new style).
