Lucian of Samosata, from “Alexander the Oracle-monger”

My object, dear friend, in making this small selection from a great mass of material has been twofold. First, I was willing to oblige a friend and comrade who is for me the pattern of wisdom, sincerity, good humor, justice, tranquility, and geniality. But secondly I was still more concerned (a preference which you will be very far from resenting) to strike a blow for Epicurus, that great man whose holiness and divinity of nature were not shams, who alone had and imparted true insight into the good, and who brought deliverance to all that consorted with him.

Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the basics of Epicurean Philosophy, consider joining our team of volunteers at EpicureanFriends.com.

Don’t worry about overcommitment - there are no membership fees, and we aren’t organized formally in any way whatsoever. What we are is a discussion forum started by like-minded friends for the study of Epicurean philosophy. All of us think and act strictly independently, but not chaotically. All our activities are conducted in the spirit of Lucian of Samosata, with the goal of “striking a blow for Epicurus,” by promoting and applying Epicurean philosophy in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

If you’re in agreement with the Epicurean worldview and are interested in participating, drop by the EpicureanFriends.com forum. We wish everyone well, but our commmunity is definitely not for everyone. For those who are sincere in your study and in agreement with core Epicurean ideas, we welcome you to explore Epicurus with us.
