In hagiography:
Diocletian fell in love with a young woman, Rhipsime, when he saw her
picture. She lived a convent with 17 others, and they fled to Armenia. They were
captured by the king Tiridates, who tortured and killed Rhipsime, her
teacher Gayana,
and the other virgins. Tiridates was turned into a boar. Gregory cured the
king, and Armenia converted to Christianity.
