Epicurus the Sage #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the two-issue miniseries Epicurus: The Sage, published by DC in 2003. Written by William Messner-Loebs and illustrated by Sam Kieth, the story presents a humorous and philosophical adventure featuring the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and his companions as they encounter gods, monsters, and existential dilemmas in a mythical world. The volume includes both issues of the series, offering a complete narrative that blends wit with deeper reflections on life and happiness.
In "Visiting Hades," Epicurus the Sage finds himself caught in a mythic standoff when Persephone vanishes—only to uncover a twist that turns divine drama into a farce of mistaken intentions. With Demeter’s fury looming and the underworld’s secrets unraveling, Epicurus must navigate deception, desire, and the occasional celestial paperwork to keep the balance from tipping.
In "The Many Loves of Zeus," Epicurus the Sage is summoned to uncover why Danae is so content—only to find himself entangled in a celestial love affair gone cosmic. As Zeus explains his latest scheme, Epicurus meets a parade of mythic muses, each a chapter in the god’s long history of romance, all tied to a prophecy that still echoes through time.
