The name of Leonides' wife is unknown, but she bore at least six children after Origen.
Porphyry,
a Neoplatonist, claims Origen's parents were
pagans. Leonides catechized his children well. Origen attempted to follow his father in martyrdom, but he was detained by his mother - it is said that she hid his clothes so that Origen could not leave the house. == Feast ==
