Epikurus The Sage

Meer over het boek

Philosophers, and Gods, walk among us... Join William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth as they reintroduce EPICURUS THE SAGE, one of the philosophers you only vaguely remember from high school. (He never became really popular-once he opened his school to women, it was all downhill from there!) But he hangs around with Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, and Socrates, so there might be hope for him yet. In addition to collecting the original EPICURUS stories-Visiting Hades, The Many Loves of Zeus, and Riding the Sun-this volume also includes a brand new story-Helen's Boys. Tempted by the goddess of love, Paris steals Helen's heart (and a bunch of gold as well), setting the stage for the Trojan War. By the time she recovers her sanity, one begins to wonder-just what did these Greeks see in their gods anyway?
