Timocrates of Lampsacus (Greek: Τιμοκράτης) was a renegade Epicurean who made it his life's mission to spread slander about Epicurus' philosophy and way of life. He was the elder brother of Metrodorus, Epicurus' best friend and most loyal follower, who was born in Lampsacus in the late 4th century BC. He studied with his brother in the school of Epicurus, but some time c. 290 BC, he broke with the school, apparently because he refused to accept that pleasure was the supreme good of life. The dispute became quite bitter; Philodemus quotes Timocrates saying "that he both loved his brother as no one else did and hated him as no one else." In a much quoted letter, Metrodorus, in exaggerated fashion, took Timocrates to task for not making the stomach the standard in everything relating to the p

has abstract	Timócrates de Lámpsaco ( en griego: Τιμοκράτης) fue un epicúreo renegado que hizo parte de su misión de vida difundir la calumnia que representaba la filosofía y el estilo de vida de Epicuro. Era el hermano mayor de Metrodoro, el mejor amigo de Epicuro y el seguidor más leal, que nació en Lámpsaco a finales del siglo IV aC. Estudió con su hermano en la escuela de Epicuro, pero en algún momento alrededor de 290 a. C., rompió con la escuela, aparentemente porque se negó a aceptar que el placer era el bien supremo de la vida. La disputa se hizo bastante amarga; Filodemo de Gadara cita a Timócrates diciendo que "tanto amaba a su hermano como nadie más lo había hecho y lo odió como a nadie más". En una carta muy citada, Metrodoro, de manera exagerada, hizo que Timócrates se esforzara en no hacer del estómago la base de todo lo relacionado con el bien primordial. Metrodoro escribió al menos una obra contra Timócrates; y Epicuro también escribió una Opinión sobre las pasiones, contra Timócrates. En respuesta, Timócrates escribió una polémica contra Epicuro, en la que afirmaba que Epicuro no era un ciudadano ateniense genuino, y que era desaliñado, débil, ignorante, grosero y vomitaba dos veces al día por sus excesos. Su libro contra Epicuro, publicado después de su apostasía, se tituló "Delicias" (euphranta).

He was the elder brother of Metrodorus, Epicurus' best friend and most loyal follower, who was born in Lampsacus in the late 4th century BC. He studied with his brother in the school of Epicurus, but some time c. 290 BC, he broke with the school, apparently because he refused to accept that pleasure was the supreme good of life.

In a much quoted letter, Metrodorus, in exaggerated fashion, took Timocrates to task for not making the stomach the standard in everything relating to the prime good. Metrodorus wrote at least one work against Timocrates; and Epicurus also wrote an Opinions on the Passions, against Timocrates. In response, Timocrates wrote a polemic against Epicurus, whereby he claimed that Epicurus was not a genuine Athenian citizen, and that he was slovenly, weak, ignorant, rude, and vomited twice a day from overindulgence. His book against Epicurus, published after his apostasy, was entitled Delights (euphranta). (en)
