Twentyers

From Epicurus Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Both during and after the life of Epicurus, the Epicureans engaged in gatherings on the 20th (Eikas) of each month. This became so prominent a feature of the school in the eyes of the world, that the Epicureans came to be nicknamed Eikadistæ, or "twentyers" -- "people of the twentieth."
