Apelles of Heraklion

Apelles of Heraklion (Greek: Ἀπελλῆς) is numbered among the Seventy Disciples. Along with the Apostles Urban of Macedonia, Stachys, Ampliatus, Narcissus of Athens and Aristobulus of Britannia (all of these names are mentioned together by St. Paul in Romans 16:8-11, which cannot be casual) he assisted Saint Andrew. St. Apelles was bishop of Heraclea in Trachis. His feast day is October 31.
