Epictetus (AD 55 - AD 135) was a Greek sage and Stoic philosopher.
He was born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present day Pamukkale,
Turkey), and lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to
Nicopolis in northwestern Greece for the rest of his life. This
collection of Epictetus' aphorisms can be seen as an early type of
self help book or a window into the teachings of the Stoics. The
short passages are presented as a guide to daily life. Unlike some
of his forefathers in Greek philosophy (i.e. Plato and the other
metaphysicians), Epictetus focuses his attention on how to
practically apply oneself on a philosophical level. The primary
theme in this short work is that one should expect what will happen
and wish it to happen so.
