Epicurus

Philosopher · Greek · 4th–3rd c. BC

Ancient Greek philosopher and founder of Epicureanism. Though known as a hedonist, his teaching was not one of lavish indulgence but of true happiness attained through friendship, knowledge, and mental tranquillity (ataraxia). He established a community called the Garden of Epicurus on the outskirts of Athens, welcoming women and slaves alike — a progressive thinker ahead of his time.
