Epicurus

History's most misunderstood party animal. Everyone thinks Epicurus was all about wild hedonism, but the man literally lived in a garden eating bread and water with his friends. His idea of 'pleasure'? Not having a stomachache and hanging out with people you like. That's it. No orgies, no feasts - just vibing with your buddies while munching on simple food. He wrote over 300 works (most now lost), created a philosophical commune called 'The Garden' that admitted women and slaves (revolutionary for ancient Greece), and spent his days proving that you don't need much to be happy. When he died from kidney stones, he wrote to his friend describing his pain but saying his joy from remembering their philosophical conversations was greater. Even death couldn't kill his chill.
