However, the idea of a council or assembly can be loosely related to Hebrew terms like סוֹד (sod, meaning "council" or "assembly").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Areios Pagos" refers to the "Hill of Ares" or "Mars Hill," a prominent rock outcropping located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. In the New Testament, it is notably used to describe the location where the Apostle Paul delivered a significant sermon to the Athenians, as recorded in the Book of Acts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Areopagus served as the meeting place for the council of elders in ancient Athens, which was a significant judicial and legislative body. By the time of the New Testament, it had become a place where philosophical and religious ideas were discussed and debated. The Areopagus was a symbol of intellectual and cultural discourse, reflecting the Greek emphasis on philosophy and rhetoric.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from Arés (Ares, the Gr. god of war) and pagos (a rocky hill)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"the Hill of Ares," Areopagus, a hill in Athens<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Areopagus (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 697: Ἄρειος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἄρειος</span></span> (<span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> <span class="greek2">Ἀριος</span>) <span class="greek2">Πάγος</span>, <span class="greek2">Πάγου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">Areopagus</span> (a rocky height in the city of Athens not far from the Acropolis toward the west; <span class="greek2">πάγος</span> a hill, <span class="greek2">Ἄρειος</span> belonging to (Ares) Mars, <span class="accented">Mars' Hill</span>; so called, because, as the story went, Mars, having slain Halirrhothius, son of Neptune, for the attempted violation of his daughter Alcippe, was tried for the murder here before the twelve gods as judges; <span class="abbreviation">Pausan.</span> Attic. 1, 28, 5), the place where the judges convened who, by appointment of <span class="abbreviation">Solon</span>, had jurisdiction of capital offences (as willful murder, arson, poisoning, malicious wounding, and breach of the established religious usages).
