	Epaphroditus Champion - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		Epaphroditus Champion (April 6, 1756 - December 22, 1834) was a U.S. Congressman from Connecticut.
		Chamion and his son Epaphroditus gathered a herd of 300at Hartford and drove them west to King's Ferry, across the Hudson, New Jersey, across the Delaware to Washington's famished troops west of the Schuykill.
		They were devoured in 5 days prompting Epaphroditus to remark that they were so thoroughly eaten that "you might have made a knife out of every bone".

	Epictetus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		As a boy he somehow came to Rome as a slave of Epaphroditus who was a rich and powerful freedman, having himself been a slave of the Emperor Nero (he had been an administrative secretary).
		There is a story told by the author Celsus (probably a younger contemporary of Epictetus) –; quoted by the early Christian Origen (c.185–254) at Contra Celsum 7.53 – that when still a slave, Epictetus was tortured by his master who twisted his leg.
		Enduring the pain with complete composure, Epictetus warned Epaphroditus that his leg would break, and when it did break, he said, 'There, did I not tell you that it would break?' And from that time Epictetus was lame.
