EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Greece, the renowned philosopher Epicurus (341-270 BC) is depicted in a thoughtful pose on the left, deep in contemplation, while his chief pupil Metrodorus (3rd century BC) gazes intently at him from the right. Epicurus, the founder of the philosophical school known as Epicureanism, is famous for his teachings on the pursuit of happiness and the attainment of tranquility of the mind through the rejection of fear and desire. Metrodorus, a prominent figure in the Epicurean tradition, is believed to have played a crucial role in the dissemination of his master's teachings. The two figures are depicted in a full-length, double bust format, providing a clear view of their faces and the intricate details of their clothing and hairstyles. The busts, reminiscent of the Roman god Janus, with his dual faces representing the past and the future, symbolize the continuity of the philosophical tradition and the passing down of knowledge from one generation to the next. The historical significance of this image lies in the fact that it offers a rare glimpse into the appearance and demeanor of two of the most influential figures in ancient Greek philosophy. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in the busts serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of their teachings and the profound impact they have had on Western thought. Epicurus and Metrodorus, with their serene expressions and contemplative poses, invite us to reflect on the timeless questions of human existence and the pursuit of happiness. This evocative image, a treasure from the annals of history, continues to inspire and intrigue scholars, philosophers, and curious minds alike.
