Dionysius the Areopagite (Greek Διονύσιος ὁ Ἀρεοπαγίτης) was a judge of the Areopagus who as related in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 17:34) was converted to Christianity by the preaching of the Apostle Paul during the Areopagus sermon. According to Dionysius of Corinth quoted by Eusebius this Dionysius then became the first Bishop of Athens.
