AREOPAGUS
(bouvier) | AREOPAGUS. A tribunal established in ancient Athens, bore this name. It is
variously represented; some considered as having been a model of justice and
perfection, while others look upon it as an aristocratic court, which had a
very extended jurisdiction over all crimes and offences, and which exercised
an absolute power. See Acts 17, 19 and 22.
