Query: Great Text, Poor Translation

I'll be the first to admit the Random House/Modern Library translation is difficult for today's readers, but it is still superior to this compendium of Epicurean thought. That said, don't neglect the few texts we have of Epicurean thought -- once 36 volumes, now reduced to a "Vatican Library" -- perhaps because Epicurus was the first materialist, naturalist, and bona fide advocate of indifference to the gods.
