Greek sources.
In Acts 17:22–31 Paul quotes an Athenian altar inscription “To an unknown god” and lines from Greek poets (he cites “for we too are his offspring” and “in him we live and move and have our being” — see Acts 17:23–28). He uses those Greek sources and their own religious language to expose the error of idol worship and to introduce the living Creator God.
