The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The character of Gilgamesh suggests that Sumerian society could be violent in that in refects the customs, values, and behavior of the people of Mesopotamia.

We are referring to one of the oldest pieces of literature known to man: the Epic of Gilgamesh, from the times of Mesopotamia.  Gilgamesh was the King of Uruk. He was half man and half God. People feared him because he committed all kind of injustices and ruled over the land as a powerful king that had no compassion. People trusted the Gods and feared them in a kind of love and hate relationship.

 The character of Gilgamesh suggests that Sumerian society could be violent because he himself used to practice some very unsual activities.

For example, one of the practices he acostumed was having the "droit de seigneur", this means that he granted himself the right to bed a servant or a citizen woman before they got married with the groom. He was a very cruel and lusty king.

What is the significance of the Greeks having an altar to an “unknown God”?<br> helppp
spayn [35]

Answer:

in the sixth century B.C., when the writer Epimenides lived, there was a plague which went all through all Greece. The Greeks felt that they more likely than not outraged one of their divine beings, so they started offering penances on raised areas to all their different bogus divine beings. When nothing worked they figured there should be a Divine being who they didn't think about whom they should by one way or another appease. So Epimenides thought of an arrangement. He delivered hungry sheep into the open country and educated men to follow the sheep to see where they would rests.

He accepted that since hungry sheep would not normally rests yet keep on touching, if the sheep were to rests it would be a sign from God that this spot was consecrated. At each spot, where the sheep tired and layed down, the Athenians constructed a special raised area and relinquished the sheep on it. A while later it is accepted the plague halted which they credited to this Unknown God tolerating the penance.

Explanation:

The Unknown God or Agnostos Theos is a Divine being referenced by the Christian Missionary Paul Areopagus discourse in Acts 17:23, that notwithstanding the twelve primary divine beings and the countless lesser gods, old Greeks loved a god they called "Agnostos Theos"; that is: "The Unknown God", which Norden called "Un-Greek". In Athens, there was a sanctuary explicitly committed to that god and regularly Athenians would swear "for the sake of The Unknown God"
