Damaris was an early Christian woman who lived during the first century. She is primarily known through the biblical account in the Acts of the Apostles, where she was present during the sermon delivered by Paul at the Areopagus in Athens. Along with Dionysius the Areopagite, she accepted the Christian message, marking her as an early convert to the faith. Some traditions suggest she may have been a follower of Stoicism or a person of high social standing in the city.
