Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Zeno (1)
(circa 340-265 BCE) A Greek philosopher from the island of Cyprus; he is called: Zeno of Kitium (Citium) and Zeno the Stoic.
Zeno was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy in Athens circa 300-315 BCE; he taught that people should be free of passion, unmoved by joy or grief and submit without complaint to unavoidable necessity; he could argue relentlessly on any side of any argument; he has been described as an “assailer of all things”; he was honored with a public funeral in Athens because he was thought to have lived his life in harmony with his teachings.
