The Areopagus is a speculated or hinted poetry movement centered around Edmund Spenser and Gabriel Harvey. The label is used as a critical shorthand for a group of poets that included Spenser, Harvey, Edward Dyer and Sir Philip Sidney. There is no direct evidence that the group was more than an idea found in letters between Spenser and Harvey of 1580, but the proposed group was going to reform English prosody by interpolating Latin and Greek language prosodic notions.
