A hill northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, ancient Greece. The name means "Hill of Areios." The Areopagus Council, held there, was an assembly of elders during the monarchy, but after the aristocracy, those who had served as archons became lifelong members and held real political power, and it is thought that they also selected the archons. However, due to Solon's reforms, its authority was reduced, and in 462 BC, Ephialtes transferred all powers other than trials, such as murder charges, to the Ecclesia, and the archons were selected by lottery from the general public, and the Areopagus Council lost its authority. The Acts of the Apostles record that the Apostle Paul preached to the Athenian people on this hill around 50 AD.

古代ギリシア,アテネのアクロポリス北西の丘。「アレイオスの丘」の意。そこで開かれたアレオパゴス会議は,王政時代においては長老会であったらしいが,貴族政時代以後,アルコン職を経た者が終身の成員となって政治の実権を掌握し,アルコンも選んでいたと考えられる。しかしソロンの改革によってその権限は縮小され,前 462年エフィアルテスが殺人罪などの裁判以外の諸権能を民会 (エクレシア ) などに移行,またアルコンが一般市民から抽選で選出されるにいたって,アレオパゴス会議は権威を失った。 50年頃使徒パウロはこの丘でアテネ市民に説教したと『使徒行伝』に記されている。
