    I was playing around with the Tartan Designer at the USAKilts.com website and decided to see if I could come up with anything relating to Epicurus. I grant you that it's not a great design, but I was curious how much symbolism I could incorporate. To that end:

    1. The red and black lines signify atoms (red) in the void (black).
    2. The total number of green threads add up to 109 for Epicurus being born in the 109th Olympiad.
    3. The green was used to symbolize the plants and trees within the Garden.
    4. The three yellow lines are for both the 3rd year within the 109th Olympiad as well as the three legs of the Canon.
    5. The blue lines stand for the 20th, Epicurus birthday (in the 7th month of Gamelion (the white) and the monthly 20th.
    6. The blue and white are meant to bring to mind the blue and white cross on the modern Greek flag, representing Epicurus' birthplace.
    7. The red guard lines on the blue are meant to represent the continuing living legacy of Epicureanism down through the ages.

    I encourage others to try out the Tartan Designer and come up with a better design ^^ . There is ZERO chance this design will EVER be woven or worn, but this was a fun exercise to see what's possible in this art form.
