The Intersection Between The Epicurean Movement And Hanukkah

    • New

    For those who are not aware of the relationship between Epicurean History and Hanukkah, we have a number of materials here on the forum, including a thread on Antiochus Epiphanes, who was the major player on the Greek/Epicurean side of the events leading up to the Maccabean revolt.

    Our thread on Antiochus Epiphanes is here.

    The page at the former Epicurus.net website which describes this relationship is available by Wayback machine here.

    The collection of materials prepared by our forum participant Bryan is here in our files section:
