Areopagus \Ar`e*op"a*gus\, n. [L., fr. Gr. ?, and ? ?, hill of
Ares (Mars' Hill).]
The highest judicial court at Athens. Its sessions were held
on Mars' Hill. Hence, any high court or tribunal.
[1913 Webster]

Areopagus
the Latin form of the Greek word rendered "Mars' hill." But it
denotes also the council or court of justice which met in the
open air on the hill. It was a rocky height to the west of the
Acropolis at Athens, on the south-east summit of which the
council was held which was constituted by Solon, and consisted
of nine archons or chief magistrates who were then in office,
and the ex-archons of blameless life.

On this hill of Mars (Gr. Ares) Paul delivered his memorable
address to the "men of Athens" (Acts 17:22-31).
