A new translation of the influential teachings of the great Stoic philosopher
Despite being born into slavery, Greco-Roman philosopher Epictetus became one of the most influential thinkers of his time. Discourses and Selected Writings is a transcribed collection of informal lectures given by the philosopher around AD 108. A gateway into the life and mind of a great intellectual, it is also an important example of the usage of Koine or "common" Greek, an ancestor to Standard Modern Greek.
