Life

Holy Martyr Harmodius is a little-⁠known martyr, unknown to the synaxaria and the menaia. His memory is found in an 11th-⁠century codex of the monastery of Kryptoferri (Grottaferrata) in Rome, where his service, composed by Arsenios, is also kept. The Greek synaxarion has not cross-⁠checked his existence, nor the details of his life, nor the day of his feast, placed on 11 May. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
