Life

Holy Hierarch Herakleidios was a bishop in Cyprus and is counted among the Alaman saints, commemorated on 17 September (new style) in the Greek synaxarion.

The Alamans are the venerable fathers who, according to tradition, came from Palestine to Cyprus and struggled there, at Alamania. Among the bishops on their list is Herakleidios (also called Herakleios). No other details of his life have survived in the sources consulted.
