This document represents my findings after conducting several months of research to compile a (nearly-)complete list of every Epicurean philosopher and committed contributor to the Epicurean tradition, from ancient philoi, to classical amici, medieval vriunt, French amis, Japanese tomodachi, and other, contemporary friends. This list not only includes orthodox Epicureans, but also neo-Epicureans, such as the Christian-Epicureans of the Renaissance, atheistic French libertines like Ninon l'Enclos, and philosophers of the English-speaking world like Jefferson. Each entry refers to a historical figure proposed by a published academic. None of these entries reflect my sole interpretation.
I hope for this document to be used as a point of reference as well as a survey to provoke discussion about the various manifestations of Epicurus' philosophy throughout history. May you find it useful and may you enjoy the same fruits of pleasure that our predecessors throughout the centuries have shared.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com
What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:
- First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
- Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
- Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
