Tetrapharmakos
(τετραφάρμακος), or “the four-part cure,” is the greek philosopher epicurus’ (341 bc, samos – 270 bc, athens) remedy for leading the happiest possible life. the “tetrapharmakos” was originally a compound of four drugs (wax, tallow, pitch and resin); the word has been used metaphorically by epicurus and his disciples to refer to the four remedies for healing the soul.
tetrapharmakos, the four-part cure;
don’t fear g-d,
don’t worry about death;
what is good is easy to get, and
what is terrible is easy to endure

ἄφοβον ὁ θεός,
ἀνύποπτον ὁ θάνατος
καὶ τἀγαθὸν μὲν εὔκτητον,
τὸ δὲ δεινὸν εὐκαρτέρητον
