Philodemus (c. 110 – c.

35 BC) was a prominent Epicurean philosopher and poet from Gadara in Syria.

He was a prolific writer, producing numerous works on a wide range of topics, including ethics, logic, rhetoric, and poetry.

His writings offer valuable insights into Epicurean philosophy and its practical application to daily life.

Many of his works were discovered in the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum, providing a significant source of information about Epicureanism.

Philodemus's influence on the development of Epicurean thought and his contributions to ancient literature are still being studied and appreciated today.
