ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The traditions about Eugenios report that he was martyred during the persecutions of Diocletian (late 3rd-early 4th c. AD). The Passion and miracles of the saint have survived in several texts dating from the Middle Byzantine period onwards. His cult was particularly spread in Trebizond and, according to tradition, from the 11th century onwards he was worshipped as the patron of the city. After the establishment of the Empire of Trebizond (1204-1461), the Grand Komnenoi adopted St. Eugenios as their patron and symbol of their state. |
