Died 6th century. A Briton from the North driven into Wales by the Picts, Elaeth became a monk under Saint Seiriol (f.d. January 2) in Anglesey. Some poems of his are still extant (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Eleath
Tone 8
Thou didst exchange armed combat with the heathen for the spiritual warfare of the monastic life, O Father Eleath.
Look on those who now hymn thee, O thou who didst praise God with thy poetic talents He gave thee,
and intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
