Please read these sources about origin of the name of Cypriot castle "St. Hilarion":

1. The castle is named, not after St. Hilarion the Great, the founder of monasticism in Palestine who died near Paphos about A.D. 371, but after a later saint, of whom little is known.
2. The castle is named after a little known hermit who fled Palestine during the 7th century to live and die up here, purging the mountain of pagan demons. It is said that the hermit was stone deaf, so was able to resist the tempting cries of the demons who stalked the mountains with ease. The demons finally admitted defeat, and left Hilarion and the mountain in peace. A Byzantine monastery, and later a fort sprang up around his tomb

I seams, that we have to hermits with the same name: Hilarion. In the story of Gaza-born Hilarion there is no such a story, what we can see on the Dominique Papety painting. So it must be the story of the other man, who lived among the Kyrenia mountains centuries later. And in his case, the painting is a mistake in this article.

Is that possible? Piraeus (talk) 21:05, 25 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
