☙ Epicureans

The Epicureans, also known as the Kepos or Garden after the place where the original Athenian community used to meet, were named after their founder, Epicurus. Unfairly characterized as hedonists and atheists, they sometimes appear as outsiders to "mainstream" Greek philosophy, constituted by Stoic, Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. Yet from the time of Epicurus to the second or third century CE, they were continually one of the most important school.

Due to the comparatively limited evidence (especially for the time after Philodemus), it is not necessary to subdivide Epicureanism by a modern periodization scheme.
