… Nature, delivered from every haughty lord, and forthwith free, is seen to do all things herself and through herself of own accord, rid of all gods. Lucretius, On the Nature of Things, Book II The Child Epicurus and his Master Pamphilus Before I speak of Lucretius, I must accentuate that he was a disciple of Epicurean philosophy. The Hegemon (First Scholarch and founder) of Lucretius’ philosophical lineage was Epicurus of Samos, whose first teacher was the Platonist Pamphilus of Samos. One of the first scenes in Epicurus’ biography was his resistance against and confrontation of his grammar school teacher Pamphilus, when his instructor was challenged—and unable—to give a full empirical account of his doctrine of creation from chaos based on the evidence of nature.
