Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
- Like Socrates, Epictetus did not write down his philosophy.
- His Discourses and Manual are the class notes of his pupil, Flavius Arrianus. Epictetus was born a slave, being given his freedom in 68.
- He was banned from Rome by Emperor Domitian.
- For most of his life he was lame.
