Baring-Gould’s sources: Menology of the Emperor Basil, and Greek Mensea. Inserted in the modem Roman Martyrology by Baronins. Also Maronite Kalendar. Authority: — The Greek Acts, pretending to be written by an eyewitness, but they are a forgery. ] 1HIS woman is said to have been martyred under the emperors Gordian and Philip, who issued an edict against the Christians, when they were consuls together. And during the persecution consequent on the promulgation of this edict, Heliconis suffered at Corinth. But as Gordian and Philip never were consuls together, and as neither issued any such edict, so is the persecution more than questionable. Heliconis may have suffered in some local uprising of the people, or under some feigned charge by a hostile governor, but the fact of the acts being manifestly a forgery, throws the greatest doubt over everything connected with her martyrdom, and indeed over her existence. 1 Given by the Bollandists, but as there is no evidence of his having received public veneration, and he appears in no other Martyrologies, his life is not included in this collection.
