	Epictetus and Oedipus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Epictetus would urge all parties involved to accept the roles assigned to them by the gods and to strive to act out their parts with grace and dignity.
		Epictetus would claim that the only possibile way to "make a right use of" one's fate is to meet it proudly; Sophocles' characters assuredly compounded the tragedy of their fates by being unwilling to do so.
		Epictetus insists that one must with good composure accept the fate designed for one by the gods, and seek to live the most upright life possible within the confines of destiny.

		The programme of study and exercises that Epictetus' students adhered to was in consequence different from the programme that was taught by his predecessors, but the end result, consisting in the special Stoic outlook on oneself and the world at large and the ability to 'live the philosophic life', was the same.
		Epictetus uses the term aretê only occasionally, and whereas the early Stoics spoke of striving for excellence as what was proper for a rational creature and required for eudaimonia ('happiness' or well-being), Epictetus speaks of striving to maintain one's prohairesis in proper order (see Discourses 1.4.18 and 1.29.1).

		Epictetus was a former slave who was expelled from Rоmе for teaching his рhilоsорhу and refusing to shave his philosopher's beard.
		In due course his leg broke, and in due course Epictetus merely smiled and said "I told you so." From that day on, hе was lаmе; yet he never seems to have complained of his lameness, and indeed seemed tо berate those who complained of their lаmеnеss or other bodily malady.
		Epictetus should mаке for аn excellent introduction to Stoic Philosophy, and the "Encheiridion" is an ехсеllеnt introduction to Epictetus.

	Enchiridion by Epictetus, George Long
		Epictetus' Stoic philosophy is a practical philosophy for life that focuses on understanding what causes us grief in our life and then detaching ourselves from that grief; removing from our lives unnecesary pains.
		Although Epictetus and the later Marcus Aurelius acknowledge a inpersonal divine force and logic manifesting itself behind all things (the Logos), they never presume that God has any influence in the roll of events and for all intents and purposes, suggest living as if this matter before us, shifting every constantly, is the only consideration.
		Epictetus even says that we should not be disturbed when our wife or child dies - the person hasn't died, just the body, something we have no true control over.

		The last reflection of the Stoic philosophy that I have observed is in Simplicius’ “Commentary of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.” Simplicius was not a Christian, and such a man was not likely to be converted at a time when Christianity was grossly corrupted.

		And Epictetus, proceeding upon this foundation, directs his scholars, what sort of practices and conversation are proper to make a man, thus framed by nature, perfect.
		For as the body gathers strength by exercise, and by frequently repeating such motions as are natural to it; so the soul too, by exerting its powers, and the practice of such things as are agreeable to nature, confirms itself in habits, and strengthens its own natural constitution.
		This is the ground Epictetus goes upon; which he does not at all attempt to prove, but takes it, as I said, for a fundamental truth, sufficiently plain, and acknowledged before.

	EPICTETOU ENCHEIRIDION (MANUAL OF EPICTETUS) by Arrian
		Epictetus, who was a native of Phrygia, is known by a name which means "newly acquired," because he was a slave of Epaphroditus in the court of Rome during the reign of the emperor Nero (54-68 CE).
		Epictetus gained his freedom and was expelled from Rome by the emperor Domitian about 90 CE with other philosophers suspected of republicanism.
		Epictetus settled in Nicopolis in Greece where he lived in poverty with only "earth, sky, and a cloak." Epictetus lived and taught a long time and probably died late in the reign of Hadrian (117-138).

		Epictetus (Greek: Επίκτητος; c.55–c.135) was a Greek Stoic philosopher.
		In a preface to the Discourses, addressed to Lucius Gellius, Arrian states that “whatever I heard him say I used to write down, word for word, as best I could, endeavouring to preserve it as a memorial, for my own future use, of his way of thinking and the frankness of his speech”.

		Moreover, it is clear from his "Meditations" that Marcus Aurelius was greatly influenced by the teachings of Epictetus.

	Epictetus
		Even though he was born a slave in Hierapolis and endured a permanent physical disability, Epictetus held that all human beings are perfectly free to control their lives and to live in harmony with nature.
		After intense study of the traditional Stoic curriculum (established by Zeno of Citium and Chrysippus) of logic, physics, and ethics, Epictetus spent his entire career teaching philosophy and promoting a daily regime of rigorous self-examination.
		From a fundamental distinction between our ability to think or feel freely and our lack of control over external events or circumstances, Epictetus derived the description of a calm and disciplined life.

		The first part of the work consists of a translation of the Enchiridion, divided into 88 sections, with analytical illustrations, in prose turned into metre; we are thus presented for the first time with a faithful version in English of the reputed teachings of the renowned Greek.
		Epictetus did not leave any works behind him, and the short manual Enchiridion which bears his name was compiled from his discourses by Arrian.
		It is manifest from these dates that the explusion of Epictetus from rome must have occurred more than eighty years after the introduction of Chritianity, and the presumption is that he fled from Rome to escape the tyranny and vices of he court of Domitian, so vividly traced in the seventh satire of Juvenal.

	The Manual
		The sayings of a Graeco-Roman philosopher who lived what he taught some 1900 years ago, the Enchiridion ("manual" or "handbook") of Epictetus has been deservedly popular with emperors and kings, thinkers and doers, ever since.
		A lame ex-slave, Epictetus lived from about 50 to 130 A.D. He was a standard bearer of the Stoic tradition, which dates from around 300 B.C. and nominates Socrates and the Cynic Diogenes as its ancestors.
		Epictetus published nothing himself; fortunately, he had a pupil who took good notes, and we have not only The Manual but also the much longer Moral Discourses.

		Epictetus's "Enchiridion" ("The Manual") is a book about living as a stoic.
		This book was used as a manual for Roman Centurions and has influenced the lives of many ancient and modern people.
		Basically, the idea behind stoicism is that people can achieve virtue and excellence by concentrating their efforts on what they can control and being indifferent to what they cannot.
