The Areopagus is a small hill facing the Akropolis Sanctuary in Athens, Greece.
In Greek mythology, the hill was where Ares, the god of war, was judged for killing Poseidon's son. Due to this, the hill subsequently served as the court for significant cases.
History
By the classical period, the hill served a shrine as well. During the Peloponnesian War, the hill was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[1]
Trivia
- The name of the place echoes its mythological significance: it is a compound of Ἄρειος Πάγος (Áreios Págos), meaning 'Hill of Ares'. In modern times, the term is used to denote the supreme court of Greece for civil and criminal law.
