    I just realized we had not heard much from michelepinto since the festival. How are things Michelle? Any new activism plans?

  • Cassius October 17, 2019 at 7:31 AM

    Changed the title of the thread from “How are Epicurean thing in Italy Michelle?” to “How are Epicurean things in Italy, Michele?”.

    A lot of planes!
    I'm translating A few days in Athens in Italian (It is an hard a long work)
    I'm organizing the second Epicurean Festival: "Free as Epicurus". It will be 22/26.7.2020 In Senigallia Italy. You all should come.
    We are creating an association, probably called "The garden of Epicurus, Senigallia".
    In Vicenza in January will be an appointment called "Epicurus and Zen" and I'll go.

    One or two things more:
    I read the Italian version of this wonderful book:
    https://www.amazon.it/Epicurus-Ethic…&s=books&sr=1-6

    I met Francesco Verde of La Sapienza University of Rome. He is the most important connoisseur of Epicurus in the Italian university world and not only in Italy. And He will be at "Free as Epicurus" in Senigallia.
    Two of his books:
    https://www.amazon.it/Epicuro-France…&s=books&sr=1-1
    https://www.amazon.it/Epistola-Erodo…ks&sr=1-1-fkmr0

    All of that is Good! I do not think I realized that you had read A few Days In Athens, or that you were translating it.

    I would be very interested in your comments on the Francis Wright book.... Maybe your review of it, or something you plan for the intro to the Italian edition? :)

    As I told it is an hard and long work. I have a lot of time to think about it. I can ask Hiram if I can translate his work. Or I can write something myself. Or I can ask some italian friends to write something (I'm lazy, and the last one is the easy one :)).

    The only think I'm sure about is that I'll write an excuse to readers because I had to translate from English and not from the original greek founded in Ercolano as Francis Wright wrote.

    There is always Google Translate to Italian too ;)

    I guess I am also interested in your own reactions to the book, because I presume you've already read it through for your personal satisfaction.

    Are you pretty much in agreement with Frances Wright's "take" on Epicurus?

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.
