1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Epicureans
   followers of Epicurus (who died at Athens B.C. 270), or
   adherents of the Epicurean philosophy (Acts 17:18). This
   philosophy was a system of atheism, and taught men to seek as
   their highest aim a pleasant and smooth life. They have been
   called the "Sadducees" of Greek paganism. They, with the Stoics,
   ridiculed the teaching of Paul (Acts 17:18). They appear to have
   been greatly esteemed at Athens.
