Abstract

The three doctrinal letters of Epicurus must have been received by all his φίλοι as authoritative texts worth following and trusting because of the widespread validity of their contents and their apparent guarantee of success. The contents, addressees and forms of the letters that have survived in fragments provide convincing reasons to believe that these letters were also authoritative.
