Stoic philosopher. Epictetus was one of the most profound expositors of the view that happiness can only be achieved by reducing and controlling our desires, not by realizing them. A slave by birth, he gained his freedom and became a celebrated philosopher. Though he never wrote, one of his disciples collected his teachings in The Enchiridion.
