A pagan philosopher, watching some of them beating
the ‘unbeatable foe’ commented: “Do you not see them,
exposed to such suffering, even flung to the wild beasts, to

Origen declared, "Those victors who go as far as death for
the sake of their unshakeable religious faith destroy the very
authority of the demons".^28
