Travelogue: By Country | By Date Greece | March 2001  

 

Tote on the Areopagus or Hill of Ares. This is the spot in which a jury of gods spared Ares from execution for the murder of Poseidon's son. Homocide trials were heard on this hill for ages. The Supreme Court of Greece is still called the Areopagus. To his left is the big hill we climbed later in the day, Mt. Lycavittus
