Life
Holy Martyr Hermolaus is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 8 August (new style), together with the martyrs Eleutherius, Leonides and Styracius.
Of Styracius the synaxarion says that he died by the sword and that some books of saints add beside him the commemoration of a martyr Hermolaus. Eleutherius and Leonides suffered by fire, together with the holy children, and their synaxis was held at the church of Saint Irene in Justinianai. About Hermolaus no particulars of his own are preserved in the sources consulted.
