'''Epicurus''' of Sámos (341-270 B.C.) was an ancient [[Greek]] [[philosopher]]. He founded in the late fourth century B.C. the [[Epicureanism]] School.
He did not believe in any divine power; he taught that sensations of pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and bad, and the absence of pain and fear leads to happiness (ataraxia). He recommended a state of satiation and tranquility surrounded by friends, as one of the main goal in life. Epicurus explicitly warned against the exceeding of [[Hedonism]].
