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.
