 [No title]
Zeno of Citium (not to be confused with Zeno of Elias) was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which (along with its rival, Epicureanism) came to dominate the thinking of the Hellenistic world, and later, the Roman Empire, with some elements of Stoic thought even influencing early Christianity.
Zeno was born in 333 B.C. in the town of Citium, a Greek colony which also had a large Phoenician population; Zeno himself may well have had Phoenician ancestry.
Zeno was overly conscious of social propriety (a habit which he always found hard to shake, despite his anarchistic views), and Crates attempted to cure this by making him carry a pot of lentils through the streets of Athens.
