*Question*
Information:  - Lampsacus was an ancient Greek city strategically located on the eastern side of the Hellespont in the northern Troad. An inhabitant of Lampsacus was called a Lampsacene. The name has been transmitted in the nearby modern town of Lapseki.  - Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, founded around 307 BC. Epicurus was an atomic materialist, following in the steps of Democritus. His materialism led him to a general attack on superstition and divine intervention. Following Aristippusabout whom very little is knownEpicurus believed that what he called "pleasure" was the greatest good, but that the way to attain such pleasure was to live modestly, to gain knowledge of the workings of the world, and to limit one's desires. This would lead one to attain a state of tranquility ("ataraxia") and freedom from fear as well as an absence of bodily pain ("aponia"). The combination of these two states constitutes happiness in its highest form. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism insofar as it declares pleasure to be its sole intrinsic goal, the concept that the absence of pain and fear constitutes the greatest pleasure, and its advocacy of a simple life, make it very different from "hedonism" as it is colloquially understood.  - Batis ( or Bates ) of Lampsacus , was a student of Epicurus at Lampsacus in the early 3rd century BC. She was the sister of Metrodorus and wife of Idomeneus . When her son died , Metrodorus wrote to his sister offering comfort , telling her that `` all the Good of mortals is mortal , '' and `` that there is a certain pleasure akin to sadness , and that one should give chase thereto at such times as these . '' Epicurus , for his part , wrote a letter to Batis on the death of Metrodorus in 277 BC. Among the various fragments of letters discovered among the papyri at Herculaneum , some may have been written by Batis .  - Lapseki is a town and district of Çanakkale Province, Turkey. In 2010 it had a population of 10,889. The mayor is Eyüp Ylmaz (AKP)  - Epicurus (or  "ally, comrade"; 341270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher as well as the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism.
