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 one of Poseidon's sons. Due to this, the hill subsequently served as the court for significant cases.[1]
History
By the classical period, the hill served as a shrine as well. During the Peloponnesian War the hill was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[1]
