➡️​ Seneca went down in history as one of the greatest representatives of Stoicism. Abarca wrote plays, philosophical dialogues, treatises on natural philosophy, consolations, and letters. Using a markedly rhetorical style, accessible and far from technicalities. He outlined the main characteristics of late Stoicism, of which, along with Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, he is considered its greatest exponent.

➡️​ Epictetus, or Epictetus, was a Greek philosopher, of the Stoic school, who lived part of his life as an enslaved person in Rome. As far as is known, we do not leave written works, but of his teachings, an Enchiridion (Ἐγχειρίδιον) or 'Manual', and Discourses of him (Διατριβαί) edited by his disciple Flavius ​​Arrian are preserved.

➡️​ Marcus Aurelius wrote the Stoic-inspired Meditationes about him in the campaigns against the Marcomanni. Le Meditationes is one of the only Stoic books to survive in its entirety.
