                    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. In the hagiographical account, the
                        king was then turned into a boar. After the king is cured, he and Armenia convert to
                        Christianity.
