*Virgin-martyr St. [[Elessa Elesa of KytheraKythira]], d. 375 ([[August 1]])
:Elessa was the daughter of "Helladios of Peloponnesus." She moved to Kythira because her father could not accept her christian faith. He followed her to the island and when he found her he killed her; today this is the location of the monastery. This all occurred in 375 AD. Her story is similar to that of St. [[Markella of Chios]].
*St. Theodore of Koroni (Mani) ([[May 12]], c. 922)
