1. Zeno of Citium

   Zeno of Citium (; Koinē Greek: Ζήνων ὁ Κιτιεύς, Zēnōn ho Kitieus; c. 334 – c. 262 BC) was a Hellenistic philosopher from Citium (Κίτιον, Kition), Cyprus. Zeno was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which he taught in Athens from about 300 BC. Based on the moral ideas of the Cynics, Stoicism laid great emphasis on goodness and peace of mind gained from living a life of virtue in accordance with nature. It proved very popular, and flourished as one of the major schools of philosophy from the Hellenistic period through to the Roman era, and enjoyed revivals in the Renaissance as Neostoicism and in the current era as Modern Stoicism.

   Zeno of Citium was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived from c. 334 to c. 262 BC. He was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which emphasized the importance of reason, virtue, and emotional tranquility. Zeno believed that happiness was achieved by accepting the moment as it is, without wanting pleasure or fearing pain, and that ethical virtue was the highest good. He taught his beliefs in Athens from a porch, or 'stoa', which gave his school of thought its name. Zeno wrote many works, but unfortunately, none of them have survived in their entirety.

Examples of Zeno of Citium in a Sentence

1. Nancy Sherman:

   The ancient world was not a place for modern gender equity. But the Stoic philosophers, in their discourses on political and moral life, held that virtue, or ethical excellence, had no gender. Zeno of Citium envisaged an ideal community of sages that included women. The view follows from the Stoic doctrine that all humans are endowed with reason.
