Myron of Cyzicus
August 17, Hierarch, Μύρων
St. Myron was a presbyter of Cyzicus in Asia Minor who lived in the middle of the third century. Tradition relates that when the governor Antipater burst into the church during the Nativity service, Myron rebuked him openly and was seized, tortured, and cast to wild beasts, which left him unharmed.
