Dio&Gene discuss Zeno of Citium. Before Marcus Aurelius, the most famous stoic-- there was Zeno the cynic, founder of Stoicism. Stoicism is arguably one of the most prominent philosophies in the Hellinestic and Roman age. Even in modern times Stoicism has had a rise in popularity. This is the final episode in the successions/founding fathers arc of Cynicism. Stay tuned for episode 08: Crazy China Chronicles with our good friend Mac, an enthusiast of Chinese philosophy, language and martial arts.
