Description: As part of his strategy in Pro Caelio of making Caelius’ alleged disreputable lifestyle appear acceptable, Cicero among other things invokes the fashionable hedonism of Epicurean philosophy (41). This paper argues that at Cael. 42, there is a hitherto undetected allusion to a statement by Epicurus himself (frag. 67 U., 22.1 A.), which further contributes to Cicero’s argument. [Author]
