Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher who lived from 50 to 135 AD and was born into slavery in what is now Turkey before eventually settling in Greece. His life and philosophical teachings matter because he developed Stoic ideas while navigating the constraints of slavery and later banishment, offering perspectives on freedom, virtue, and how to live well under difficult circumstances.
