Thank you for the detailed response, Cassius.
I found your sight, via a web search; I am taking a course about the Foundations of Western History, (The Great Courses), and Epicurus was discussed, leading to my interest in knowing more about Epicurean thought.
I look forward to gaining greater insights, and appreciate your site, very much.
I am an artist, and I have attached an image of a work, that is related to my Roman/Greek ancestry on my Father's side. It's titled: Growing up Italian-Canadian.
Cheers!
