Polycarp
Blasphemeo is a Greek word that refers to "to blaspheme".
Blaspheme
That would be St. Polycarp, an early Christian bishop and martyr who refused to renounce his faith during Roman persecution. He was asked to blaspheme Christ, but he declared, "Eighty-six years have I served Him, and He never did me any injury. How then can I blaspheme my King and Savior?" He was ultimately burned at the stake for his refusal.
It depends what you mean by blaspheme and which god you are talking about. Alexander gave all the gods their due respect. Blasphemy used to mean 'cursing a god with the god's name' - which is why in English we had such weird things as Jeez, Lawdy, Marry, Gawd, Zwounds (god's wounds), Crikey etc emerge - it used to carry the death penalty. Alexander is not recorded as showing disrespect to any god.
it dates back to before ww 1. When people were shocked and wanted to blaspheme but couldn't they would say "Judas Priest" instead. It sounds similar to jesus christ.
