Do the areopagus have responsibility for ostracism?

No, the Areopagus did not have responsibility for ostracism in ancient Athens. Ostracism was a political process used to exile a citizen for ten years, decided by a vote of the Assembly rather than the Areopagus. The Areopagus primarily served as a council for judicial matters and overseeing certain aspects of governance, while ostracism was a form of direct democratic action by the citizenry.
