A collection of over 180 sayings of Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher; also includes some fragments that were attributed to him, as well as The Hymn Of Cleanthes
Epictetus, a Greek by heritage, had been enslaved during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero; later, having gained his freedom, he had to leave Rome when a later emperor, Domitian, arbitrarily banned all philosophers from the city. Accordingly, he knew a good bit about the proverbial slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and he was interested in the question of how one endures the misfortunes that befall us all.
