Epicurus (341–270 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism, a school of thought that identified pleasure as the highest good and advocated for a simple life free from fear, especially of gods and death. He established the Garden in Athens, a community that welcomed women and slaves, and his teachings were preserved in letters and fragments, emphasizing atomism, empiricism, and the pursuit of ataraxia (tranquility).
