Usage notes Several orations originally delivered to the Areopagus are called Areopagitic orations. One such, attributed to Isocrates (4th century BCE), is also often called the Areopagitikos. It addressed perceived deficiencies in the democratic system of the time, and later inspired John Milton to give the name Areopagitica to his polemic advocating freedom of speech. The Areopagitic Oration of Dionysius of Helicarnassus (1st century BCE) was in fact delivered to an assemblage of Roman senators and intellectuals, rather than to the Greek Areopagus. It was an argument for the superiority of Greek literature, philosophy and rhetoric. The Areopagitics (also known as the Corpus Areopagiticum) are 6th century theological works pseudepigraphically attributed to the writer known as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.
