Abstract
Whether free will is compatible with determinism has been much debated in modern ethics. It is often overlooked that this debate may be traced back to ancient Greek philosophy. There has been some question whether Aristotle and earlier philosophers confronted the issue.2 But clearly the Epicureans, Stoics, and other Hellenistic philosophers tackled the problem and proposed answers. Epicurus believed that free will is not compatible with determinism. In order to save free will, he introduced a physical indeterminacy, the swerve, to account for it.
