About Epictetus
Epictetus (c. 55–135 AD) was a prominent Stoic philosopher born a slave in Phrygia, who later gained his freedom and established a significant philosophical school in Rome and later in Nicopolis, Greece. His teachings, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility and the distinction between what is within our control and what is not, were recorded by his student Arrian in works such as the "Discourses" and the "Enchiridion." Epictetus's philosophy profoundly influenced later thinkers and contributed to the development of Stoicism as a practical guide to ethical living.
