Rom. xvi. 11. Menæa. 8. April. Bolland. viii. April.HERODION, St. Paul’s cousin. The modern Greeks tell a great many stories of St. Herodion. They reckon him among the seventy-two Disciples and Apostles; and say, that notwithstanding, out of humility he was content to be a servant to all the Apostles. He was ordained Priest, then Bishop of Patræ, probably in Achaia. He is the same perhaps as St. Rhodion, whose head, they say, was cut off at Rome, the same day as St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s.
