We've translated 'On Geometry' by Dēmḗtrios of Lakonía. The largest sections of the fragments are devoted to an analysis of the relational qualities of an isosceles triangle. We have attempted to reconstruct the visual diagram that Dēmḗtrios provides. Read it HERE!

Io Saturnalia! Indeed, the Romans were celebrating the winter solstice with lights, gifts, and garland hundreds of years before Christians held midnight mass, and thousands of years before Macy's hosted parades and window displays.

Happy Eikas! Please enjoy this essay on Epicurean theology, knowing "the god" to be a representation conditioned by memory, piety to be a function of psychology, prayer, a psychiatric practice, the divine nature, an expression of happiness, and heaven, a colorful inference of the human mind.

Imagine living in the first era in human history where we can actually view recorded images of the isolated particles that comprise reality (particles once ridiculed by Epicurean opponents as being fictions from a bad philosophy)...
...but still thinking particle physics is bunk.
