The ancient Greeks were explorers in many ways. They traveled to new places, creating colonies in strange lands far from their original homes. They were survivors. They were honorable thieves. They used their cunning to explore the frontiers of philosophy and they wrested from the chaos of the surrounding wilderness the building blocks of civilization.

Greek Mythology Romance is comprised of aetiological stories, and these stories clarify why things are how they are. It was once accepted that mythological stories had no accurate premise and were anecdotal. The realities change through the period, and the individuals of the past are made to be preferable and more grounded over the individuals of "now".

Epicteto foi um conferencista que não deixou escritos filosóficos. Felizmente, os aspectos principais de sua filosofia foram preservados para as gerações futuras por um de seus dedicados alunos, o historiador Flávio Arriano. Arriano transcreveu meticulosamente em grego um número considerável de palestras de seu mestre para um amigo. Essas palestras, conhecidas como os Discursos [ou Diatribes], foram originalmente reunidas em oito livros, dos quais apenas quatro subsistiram até nossos dias.

Band der Reihe über die vier stoischen Tugenden, wie wir Willenskraft, Mäßigung und Selbstkontrolle – also Disziplin – in unserem Leben kultivieren können.

"В чому наше благо? Вибрані думки римського філософа" — збірка творів, що належать перу давньогрецького філософа Епіктета. До неї увійшли "Афоризми" і трактат В чому наше благо? Це роздуми відомого, зрештою, провідного, проповідника стоїцизму від класичної грецької школи про сенс життя і природу, про моральність, щастя і свободу особистості.

У першому випадку мужньо виконувати свій обов'язок, решту — ігнорувати.
