EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Metrodorus of Lampsacus (The Younger) - Ancient Greek Epicurean Philosopher (331-278 BC) Metrodorus of Lampsacus, depicted in this stunning marble bust, was a prominent figure in the Epicurean School of ancient Greek philosophy. Born in Lampsacus, a city in modern-day Turkey, around 331 BC, Metrodorus was a student of the renowned philosopher Epicurus. He later became a leading figure in the Epicurean movement, known for his significant contributions to the development of Epicureanism. This exquisite Roman copy of the original Greek bust, believed to date back to the 1st century AD, is now housed in the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany. The bust showcases Metrodorus' wise and contemplative expression, with his long, flowing beard and piercing gaze. The intricate details of his facial features and the delicate folds of his toga suggest the masterful craftsmanship of the ancient sculptor. Epicureanism, founded by Epicurus in the 4th century BC, emphasized the pursuit of pleasure, tranquility, and the absence of fear and pain. Metrodorus, as an influential philosopher in this school, likely played a crucial role in spreading these teachings throughout the ancient world. His legacy continues to inspire philosophical thought and the pursuit of a simple, pleasurable life. The bust serves as a testament to the enduring influence of ancient Greek philosophy and the artistic mastery of the Roman era. It invites us to reflect on the wisdom of Metrodorus and the Epicurean School, offering a glimpse into the rich history of human thought and the timeless quest for a fulfilling life.
