Any good?

Haven't got the paper anymore but I do remember it was a court in Athens, the watchman was Argus around a poe (writer) going up. Sorry but I cant remember the actual answer

AREOEPAGUS was the highest court in ancient Greece. Argus was a mythological watchman with a Poe (the writer)

AR EOP A GUS

The Areopagus or Areios Pagos is the 'Rock of Ares' or 'Hill of Ares', north-west of the Acropolis, which in classical times functioned as the high Court of Appeal for criminal and civil cases in Athens.

Thank you for all your efforts. Some historical knowledge gained as well.
