Introduction
The philosophy of stoicism was founded by zeno in the fourth century b c. Stoicism took its name from the colonnade or stoa, where zeno and his followers discussed their ideas. How did its ideas of inner retreat come to influence the most powerful and public men of the classical era? And does it still have a legacy for us to day?
