         DefinitionShort: pertaining to the philosophical system of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, who taught that the world is a series of fortuitous combinations of atoms and that the highest good is pleasure

         Glosses: ['Epicurean', 'a follower of Epicurus']

         Comments: In most instances translators have found it more satisfactory to simply transliterate the terms Ἐπικούρειος and {L:Στοϊκός} ({D:11.97}), but some supplementary note to identify the teachings of the Epicureans and Stoics is important.
