biography
Theodora of Alexandria was a saint and martyr who lived during the 5th century in Alexandria, during the reign of Emperor Zeno. Hagiographer Sabine Baring-Gould states that Theodora's story might have been embellished and that her biography was probably pieced together from the lives of other saints, such as Marina the Monk, another 5th-century Byzantine saint who also lived as a male among monks, was accused of the same things as Theodora, and was vindicated after her death.
