Athens \Athens\ prop. n. (Geography)
   The capital city of Greece. Population (2000) = nk.
   [PJC]

2. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Athens
   the capital of Attica, the most celebrated city of the ancient
   world, the seat of Greek literature and art during the golden
   period of Grecian history. Its inhabitants were fond of novelty
   (Acts 17:21), and were remarkable for their zeal in the worship
   of the gods. It was a sarcastic saying of the Roman satirist
   that it was "easier to find a god at Athens than a man."
   
     On his second missionary journey Paul visited this city (Acts
   17:15; comp. 1 Thess. 3:1), and delivered in the Areopagus his
   famous speech (17:22-31). The altar of which Paul there speaks
   as dedicated "to the [properly "an"] unknown God" (23) was
   probably one of several which bore the same inscription. It is
   supposed that they originated in the practice of letting loose a
   flock of sheep and goats in the streets of Athens on the
   occasion of a plague, and of offering them up in sacrifice, at
   the spot where they lay down, "to the god concerned."
