Notes

  1. See in particular his Epictetus: A Stoic and Socratic Guide to Life (OUP, 2002).

  2. Cf. Dirk Baltzly, ‘High Philosophy’, in The Oxford Handbook of Hellenic Studies, edited by G. R. Boys-Stones, B. Graziosi and P. Vasunia (OUP, 2009), 530–541.

  3. For example, Discourses 1.1.12.2 where Epictetus imagines God saying ‘I have given you a portion of myself’ (ἐδώκαμέν σoι μέρoς τι ἡμέτερoν).

  4. The ideal of godlike tranquillity and the assertion that our finite lives can be as good as Zeus’ infinite life figures prominently in Nussbaum’s ‘Mortal Immortals: Lucretius on Death and the Voice of Nature’, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 1 (1989), 303–351.
