                    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.
