• Resumen

  • This article compiles the available information regarding the Monastery of Apa Posidonios at Hermonthis and explores the possibility that its patron saint may have been the Egyptian anchorite, Posidonios, mentioned in the Lausiac History. The assessment of a Hermonthite cult of “Poseidon” described in a Coptic encomium leads into a general discussion of hagiographical constructions of “pagan” cults.
