Peleus

Holy Hieromartyr Peleus was from Egypt and was a bishop, in the fourth century. With Nilus, Patermuthius, Elias and a hundred other Christians he boldly appeared as a Christian before the pagan emperor. They endured terrible torments: their right eye was put out, and in the end they were burned alive.

He is commemorated on 17 September, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece, on the same day as Nilus and the hundred Egyptian martyrs.
