697 Areios Pagos {ar'-i-os pag'-os} from Ares (the name of the Greek deity of war) and a derivative of 4078;; n pr loc AV - Areopagus 1, Mars Hill 1; 2 Areopagus = "martial peak" 1) a rocky height in the city of Athens, opposite the western end of the Acropolis toward the west. This hill belonged to (Ares) Mars and was called Mar's Hill; so called, because, as the story went, Mars, having slain Halirrhothius, son of Neptune, for the attempted violation of his daughter Alicippe, was tried for the murder here before twelve gods as judges. This place was the location where the judges convened who, by appointment of Solon, had jurisdiction of capital offences, (as wilful murder, arson, poisoning, malicious wounding, and breach of established religious usages). The court itself was called Areopagus from the place where it sat, also "Areum judicium" an "curia". To that hill the apostle Paul was not led to defend himself before judges, but that he might set forth his opinions on divine subjects to a greater multitude of people, flocking together there and eager to hear something new.
