Abstract

Abstract The study of Epicurean theology is, and has been for some time, a battleground. Great effort has been expended in the discussion of what, and how θϵoι … ϵισιν (Ep. Men. 123), but despite the vast majority of writing on this topic being concerned with the ontological and epistemological issues which arise from Epicurean theism, the major role played by the gods in Epicurus’ thought is ethical. They are, however they ‘are’, perfect Epicureans in the sense that they enjoy constant pleasure.
