The verse states: "But some of them joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them." (BSB) Damaris is noted for her conversion to Christianity, which is significant given the cultural and philosophical context of Athens, a city known for its intellectual pursuits and diverse religious practices. Her mention alongside Dionysius the Areopagite, a member of the Areopagus council, suggests that she may have been a woman of some standing or influence. The inclusion of her name in the biblical narrative highlights the early spread of Christianity among both men and women, as well as across different social strata.
