Saint Galation or Galaction was supposedly a martyr with his wife Episteme whom he converted. The story is that he was the son of Saints Clitaphon and Leucippe and that he became a hermit while Episteme joined a community of virgins. Both went away to the mountain of Publion Galaction to a men’s monastery and Episteme to a women’s. They did not leave their monasteries and neither saw the other until the time of their death. A fierce persecution arose and they were both brought to trial.
