Life

Holy Martyr Diomedes is commemorated on 9 June together with the holy martyrs Orestes and Rhodion (or Rhodon).

They are unknown in the Synaxarion of Nicodemus the Hagiorite and appear in the Synaxarion of Delehaye without any biographical note. In two codices there is a common service for them, written by the hymnographer Joseph, and their commemoration is also found in codex no. 53 of the Vlatadon Monastery. Their commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
