People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 17:19 Brought him unto Areopagus. The Greek term for Mars' hill. See Acts 17:22. The hill was a place of assembly. There the supreme court of Athens met. There the courts that sat concerning religious matters convened. The associations had something to do, probably, with Paul being taken here to speak, though the meeting was informal and not official. The hill is about fifty feet high, and was then surrounded by the most glorious works of art in Athens.
