About the Author

Epictetus (c. 50-c. 135 CE) was born into slavery in Phrygia (then part of Greece, now in Western Turkey). With the approval of his Roman master, he gained an education and was later given his freedom after Nero died. Arrian was his most famous pupil and he promoted the words of Epictetus after his death.
