Life
Saint Olympiodora is commemorated on 31 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says that she received martyrdom by fire. A verse, playing on her name, says that her gift was a hymn, not the pine of Olympia.
The Greek source gives no further details of her life. Place and time are not preserved.
