About the book
The Enchiridion is a short handbook of Stoic teaching drawn from the lessons of Epictetus, a Greek philosopher who had been born a slave and taught in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries CE. Epictetus wrote nothing himself. His student Arrian recorded his talks and gathered their main points into this manual; the Greek word enchiridion means something held in the hand.
