  • For purposes of inclusion in our regular 20th meetings, the following is a list of prominent Epicureans with notations of their accomplishments. Each month - in addition to Epicurus and Metrodorus as directed in Epicurus will - we can remember two others so that each year we rotate through the complete list. The goal for each month would be:

    1. To memorialize Epicurus and Metrodorus every month as per the will.
    2. To memorialize two other prominent Epicureans from a list of 24 names that everyone ought to know.
    3. To memorialize one from a list of "lesser-known" Epicureans about whom we may not know much but which we know enough to make for an interesting mention.

    To prepare this we can use Nate's list of "Epicurean Philosophers."
