Damaris (biblical Figure)
Damaris ( grc-gre, Δάμαρις) is the name of a woman mentioned in a single verse in Acts of the Apostles () as one of those present when Paul of Tarsus preached in Athens in front of the Athenian Areopagus in c. AD 55. Biblical narrative Together with Dionysius the Areopagite Damaris embraced the Christian faith following Paul's Areopagus sermon. The verse reads: :"Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them." (KJV) As usually women were not present in Areopagus meetings, Damaris has traditionally been assumed to have been a ''hetaera'' (courtesan, high-status prostitute); modern commentators have alternatively suggested she might also have been a follower of the Stoics (who welcomed women among their ranks) or a foreigner visiting Athens. The Georgian text of ''Acts'' makes Damaris the wife of Dionysius. Veneration She is a saint of the Greek Orthodox Church, rememb ...
