Coming up this Sunday, April 27th, at 12:30 EDT for forum members who are available, we'll be having a Zoom!
This Zoom meeting will run for about an hour, as an informal gathering to meet those in European time zones or any other new members who would like to attend - it's intended to be a convenient time for both USA and Europe.
Our Agenda will be largely informal so we can go around the table and let each person introduce themselves and their interest in Epicurus. But we'll also talk at least briefly about the example of the early Epicureans - especially Lucretius, Diogenes of Oinoanda, Philodemus, and of course Epicurus himself - who worked to "spread the word" of Epicurean philosophy to others, rather than just following it privately themselves.
Also note that we'll be using video but it's not required - if you'd prefer to use audio only that will be fine.
Nor does it pass unnoticed of my mind that it is a hard task in Latin verses to set clearly in the light the dark discoveries of the Greeks, above all when many things must be treated in new words, because of the poverty of our tongue and the newness of the themes; yet your merit and the pleasure of your sweet friendship, for which I hope, urge me to bear the burden of any toil, and lead me on to watch through the calm nights, searching by what words, yea and in what measures, I may avail to spread before your mind a bright light, whereby you may see to the heart of hidden things.
This is open to all members and any of our other regulars here who would like to attend, whether you're in Europe or not!
If you're interested please let us know here in this thread - we'll be setting up a private conversation with further Zoom details for those who let us know that they would like to attend.
I'll try to join, too.
