Abstract
This paper argues that Diogenes of Oenoanda was not only an innovator within the Epicurean epistolary tradition, but also of the genre itself. It explores the topic first by presenting an overview of the Epicurean tradition of epistles, and then by scrutinizing, on the one hand, how Diogenes’ letters fit into this tradition of letter-writing and, on the other, the function of his epistles in relation to his Epicurean inscription.
