Areopagus
Nicholas Michell
There on Mars'-hill stood Paul with flashing eye,
Like some bright form just lighted from the sky,
Marvelled so blind learned Athens still should be,
Admired but mourned her Pagan brilliancy.
The Hill of Mars is the Romanized form of the Hill of Ares, the Greek God of War. The hill rises above Athens, to the North of the Acropolis.
