Is Paul still honored in Athens today?
Yes. At Mars Hill in Athens, a large bronze plaque is dedicated to the Apostle Paul, the one called a babbler, rather than to Greek philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, or Homer. Tourists visiting Athens are continually reminded of Paul, and he remains held in high esteem.
Les explains that when he visited Athens with Merlin, Titibal, and Nyrus, they went up to Mars Hill. He was struck that there is no big bronze plaque honoring Aristotle, Plato, or Homer. Instead, the prominent plaque is dedicated to the Apostle Paul, whom the context calls “the babbler.” Les emphasizes that Paul is still held in high esteem, and tourists coming to Athens are constantly reminded of this man, not the Greek philosophers.
