After Berea, where did Paul travel next?

After leaving Berea, Paul traveled down the coast into southern Greece and came to Athens. The narrative then focuses on Paul at Athens, the cultural center of that day, where the Parthenon stood on the Acropolis and Mars Hill was halfway up.

Les explains that after Paul left Berea, he came down the coast all the way to southern Greece and arrived at Athens. Les notes that Athens was the very seat of culture in those days, with the Parthenon standing on the Acropolis and Mars Hill located halfway up. He pictures Paul looking out over that pagan city, where the path up to the Acropolis was lined with idols of various gods and goddesses. Paul’s heart sank because the whole city was steeped in idolatry. Les also wonders how intelligent, reading people could follow such false religion, yet they were doing it there as well.

Acts 17:15

And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
