History and legend
There seems to be a historical basis for the story of Eupsychius, although later writers have embellished it with hagiographical inventions.Шаблон:Sfn Sozomen's Church History V:II 7-8, writing of Julian's reign (361–363), stated that Eupsychius, a newly-married nobleman of Caesarea in Cappadocia was executed for causing the destruction of the temple of Tyche. The emperor was angry with all the citizens of Caesarea, and the participants in the temple's destruction were punished with death or exile.Шаблон:Sfn Arethas of Caesarea also mentions that Eupsychius was newly married when he was martyred.Шаблон:Sfn
Subsequent redactions expand and embellish the basic story.Шаблон:Sfn Thus the Synaxarion of Constantinople states that he was put on the rack and cruelly flogged, then an angel appeared and strengthened him. He was again hung on the rack and scourged so that his inner organs were exposed, then was beheaded. Instead of blood, milk and water flowed, a strange sight for all to see.Шаблон:Sfn
