Today is the birthday of Epicurus (341-270BCE).
Epicurus was an Greek philosopher who advocated simple living, building strong friendships, and enjoying good food and pleasant outdoor living. His school in Athens, called The Garden, was open to women and slaves.
He asked his friends to remember him on his birthday, 10 Gamelion on the Attic Calendar. Today is that day.
If you want to have more and better friendships, and mindfully appreciate good simple things, today is a good day to start.
@evan I love everything about this. I'm also not to be trusted with facts like this being the year 10 Gamelion on the Attic Calendar. I'll try to use this power for good.
@ThatAuntie 10 Gamelion is the day of the year! I'm not sure what the year is, or if they even kept track.
@evan Thank you for the clarification. It's still a flex because of the Gamelion, I think. Definitely memorable because food and friendship pair so well
