Epictetus, or Epictetus, (in Greek: Επίκτητος [Epíktētos], ‘acquired’; Hierapolis, 55-Nicopolis, 135) was a Greek philosopher from the Stoic school who lived part of his life as a slave in Rome. As far as is known, he left no written works, but his teachings survive in an Enchiridion (Ἐγχειρίδιον) or Manual and his Discourses (Διατριβαί), both written by his disciple Flavius Arrian, as well as some fragments.
