  Athens
       n 1: the capital and largest city of Greece; named after Athena
            (its patron goddess); "in the 5th century BC ancient
            Athens was the world's most powerful and civilized city"

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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."
