Read the full account

The Loeb will text names heirs, a child of Metrodorus, and household dependants, turning private succession into a public English paragraph. Epicurus did not authorise a 1925 data release.

Context

Ancient vitae routinely publish private arrangements.

Epicurus is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

A will in a Loeb is an open household register.
