Cypriot-Greek philosopher who founded Stoicism after studying in Athens, teaching in the Stoa Poikile — the Painted Porch — from which the school takes its name.
Founded Stoicism and established its core thesis that virtue is the only good; external things are neither good nor bad but indifferent (adiaphora); the wise man lives in accordance with nature and reason.
