The Stoic and Epicurean Philosophers edited by Whitney J. Oates
In the writings of Epicurus, Epictetus, Lucretius & Marcus Aurelius, Greek & Roman philosophy comes into its fullest flowering. The advocates of the principles of virtue & pleasure are brought together into a single volume. The four thinkers here represented have been brilliantly translated by Cyril Bailey, H.A.J. Munro, P.E. Matheson & George Long. In addition, Cleanthes' famous poem Hymn to Zeus & Matthew Arnold's Essay on Marcus Aurelius are included.
