Saint Eumenes was a 7th-century bishop of Gortyna, located on the island of Crete. After renouncing his personal wealth during his youth, he was selected to serve as a bishop. He is recognized as a thaumaturge, a title reflecting the numerous miracles attributed to him during his life. His ministry and various miraculous acts are said to have taken place in Gortyna, Rome, and the Thebaid, where he eventually passed away while in exile.
