ACTS 17:22-27

Q: Is worshiping an “unknown god” a common thing for the Greeks, or was this a unique

 community to worship this deity?

 

In 6th Cent BC to stop a plague in Athens, the Cretan poet Epimenides told the people to release sheep

 and sacrifice to any gods whose altar a sheep lay near. If none was near, they were to sacrifice to the

“unknown god.”
