	Areopagus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Areopagus or Areios Pagos is the 'Hill of Ares', north-west of the Acropolis, which in classical times functioned as the chief homicide court of Athens.
		The Areopagus, like most city-state institutions, continued to function in Roman times, and it was at that location that the Apostle Paul delivered the famous 'What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you' speech, after seeing an altar 'to the Unknown God'.
		The term "Areopagus" also refers to the judicial body of aristocratic origin, the power of which was enhanced by Solon, or the higher court of Greece.

		Aristotle is not very clear as to what he means when he says that the Areopagus lost “all its added powers which made it the safeguard of the constitution’ (ἅπαντα περιεῖλε τὰ ἐπίθετα δι᾽ ὧν ἦν ἡ τῆς πολιτείας φυλακή) (Aristot.

	Ancient Greece: Athens
		The Areopagus consisted of a varying number of members, and it elected nine archons, or "rulers," to run the state.
		The archons, however, always had to submit to the approval or veto of the Areopagus, and they also became members of the Areopagus when their term in office expired, so, in reality, the Areopagus ruled the country.
		The situation was a powder-keg waiting to go off; suffering under unmanageable debts, sold into slavery, with the government under the control of the wealthy people that were the causes of their problems, the average Athenian farmer was primed for revolution.

		This study deals with the Epicureans in the Areopagus Speech in Acts 17, especially in terms of Christian preaching on "theodicy" as this met with Epicurean denials of the same.
		As regards the content of the Areopagus Speech, Luke describes Paul presenting in Hellenistic modes of thought "new teaching" (Acts 17:19) to Greeks at Athens, comparable to the way Paul heralded the Christian gospel in a Jewish mode of expression in the cultural contexts of synagogues.
		The literary occasion of the Areopagus speech is Paul's "provocation" at seeing a city "full of idols" (17:16), which suggests that the speech will have a polemical cast to it concerning the true God.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.01.01 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The very formulation of the Areopagus as the aristocracy (admittedly true before Cleisthenes) and the Assembly as demos, implicit in Wallace, Braun, and Meier, may be quite overdrawn.
		While further "democratization" of the Areopagus was in the offing around the time the Oresteia was produced, Ephialtes' reforms had apparently checked the authority of the Areopagus in its oversight of the laws and magistrates, thus preempting the political consequences of a more populist Areopagus.
		Braun concludes that Aeschylus' dramatic intervention (my word) on behalf of the Areopagus sprang from his belief that this Solonian establishment was intended to preserve constitutional order, and the order of the day was the Democracy, threatened by the prospect of civil war.

		This term refers both to the “Hill of Ares”; located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens and to the Council that met on the hill until the fourth century CE.
		During the seventh century BCE, the Council probably watched over the laws of the city; in 462/461 BCE, the Areopagus lost its guardianship of the laws.
		According to the author of the Athenian Constitution, it retained the power to hear cases of deliberate wounding, homicide, poisoning that resulted in death, arson, and digging up or cutting down of the sacred olive trees of Athena.
