The holy martyrs lived during the reign of Emperor Diocletian in the Pamphylian city of Perga, when Pamphylia was governed by the governor Flavian. All of them came from Christian ancestors: Mineon was a carpenter, while the others were engaged in agriculture. Having made the decision for a martyr's feat, they destroyed the objects of worship in the temple of Artemis at night. For this, they were captured and subjected to cruel tortures: they were beaten, burned, had their eyes gouged out, and were denied food in prison. Then they were handed over to be torn apart by beasts, but the saints tamed them, which caused horror among the spectators. At that time, a storm broke out, and the saints, hearing a sweet voice, were filled with joy. By the order of the governor, their heads were cut off, completing their suffering.
