Paul uses Greek philosophers. Paul in
Acts 17:28 quotes two poets Epimenides' Cretica and Aratus' Hymn to Zeus.
1 Cor. 15:33 Paul uses a quote from Euripides, or Menandros.
Titus 1:12 is Epimenides of Knossos, in Crete. Titus even tells us that Epimenides is a Cretan prophet. This is how they were able to reach others in their world. Not that they were advocating this individuals or their writings.
