Abstract
The mystery of happiness has always been connected to the divine. In it, the human being contemplates an attribute of the gods linked to its immortality. Death constitutes the biggest threat to happiness. It is not strange, therefore, that the different ancient philosophical trends acquired deep sotheriological features, in order to free man from his fear to divinity, or to look for an answer to the deepest questions of the human being. Man is not happy, but he longs to be, and so these trends make the eudaimonia the central theme of reflections. If happiness cannot be a divine gift, it will have to be a human conquest, through contemplation, ataraxia or fulfilment of pleasures.
