Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Epictetus?

Epictetus (c. 50–135 AD) was a Greek Stoic philosopher born into slavery in Hierapolis, Phrygia. After gaining his freedom in Rome, he studied under Musonius Rufus and later founded his own school in Nicopolis, Greece. He wrote nothing himself; his teachings were recorded by his student Arrian in the Discourses and the Enchiridion (Handbook).

What is Epictetus most famous for saying?

His most famous line is “Men are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of things” (Enchiridion 5) — the foundation of Stoic psychology. Other beloved epictetus quotes include “No man is free who is not master of himself” and “Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen.”

What is the Enchiridion?

The Enchiridion (Greek for “handbook” or “dagger”) is a short manual of Stoic advice compiled by Arrian from Epictetus’s Discourses. Its 53 brief chapters cover the dichotomy of control, desire, adversity, and character — and it has been a practical guide to resilience for nearly two thousand years.

Are these Epictetus quotes authentic?

Every quote in this collection is drawn verbatim from public-domain English translations of the Enchiridion, the Discourses, and the fragments preserved by Stobaeus and others. One widely-circulating line (“two ears, one mouth”) is marked “Attributed to Epictetus” because scholars trace it to Zeno rather than Epictetus himself.
