Read the full account

Hicks’s Loeb prints passages and anecdotes in which sexual desire is a disturbance and marriage is not required of the sage. The dated carrier is 1925 English. Household formation is a cohesion technology; teaching its optional status is a limit, not a crime.

Context

The Garden also practised friendship at high intensity. That improving path is another row.

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

Optional marriage is not a fertility statute. It is a printed counsel that thins one civic household form.
