> two separate Theodores appeared – St. Theodore Tyro (portrayed in the
> Eastern Church as a young man) and St. Theodore Stratilates ("The

Further on this, see Hipployte Delehaye, Les legendes grecques des saints
militaires (1909, repr. 1975), and Christopher Walter, The Warrior Saints in
Byzantine Art and Tradition (Ashgate, 2003).
