Damaris is a woman mentioned in the New Testament, living around 55 AD in Athens, Greece. According to the Acts of the Apostles , she embraced the Christian faith following the speech of Paul of Tarsus, given in front of the Athenian Areopagus.
She might have been of high social status because only such women were allowed to assist the Areopagus meetings. This may be the reason why her name has been especially recorded.
Modern scholars also speculate that she may have been either a foreigner, since women of Athens would not likely have been present, or a Greek hetaera, an educated woman who provided companionship and intellectual stimulation to public figures.
The calendar of the Greek Orthodox Church describes her instead as a disciple of Dionysius.
Damaris Mallma Porras (born January 26, 1986 in Huancayo), is a Peruvian folk singer. She is a representative of contemporary Andean music, which consists of a mix of the traditional Indian language Quechua and modern pop music.
