Apollinaris Syncletica (Medieval Greek: Απολινάριος Συγκλητική) was a saint and hermit of the 5th century, venerated in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Her story is most likely apocryphal and "turns on the familiar theme of a girl putting on male attire and living for many years undiscovered".[1]
