The Bible specifically states that "the Epicurean and the stoic philosophers took to conversing with [Paul] controversially," even taking him to the Areopagus to hear more of what he had to say. (Acts 17: 18,19) Athes was known for its many philosophers, including Epicureans and Stoics.
Paul refers to an Athenian altar inscribed "To a Unkown God." (Acts 17:23) Altars dedicated to an unknown god were possible erected by Epimenides of Crete.
