The "Leaping Pig" from Herculaneum (& modern iterations)

"Pleasantly Happy Pig" (made with clip art from Canva).

No leaping pig on this one, but decided to try another interpretation of an Epicurean flag, this time featuring the vessel of pleasure and pain.

If you wanted to be cryptic, replace the E with a ēta Η for ΗΔΟΝΗ (hēdonē) "pleasure" ηδονή

I like flags. Here is a suggestion from ChatGPT of an Epicurean flag:

• Background: Sage green, embodying nature, tranquility, and balance.
• Central Emblem: A white oil lamp silhouette, its gentle shape evoking steady, moderate pleasure (ataraxia & aponia).
• Olive Wreath: A thin white circle of olive leaves, symbolising the Garden (Kēpos), community, and natural living.
• Four Pebbles: Four small white dots at the north, east, south, and west, representing the Tetrapharmakos (“four‑part cure”).

That, by the way, remembers me of a ground-level Zoroastrian Love of Wisdom (the sacred fire.)
