The Slave Who Broke His Own Chains (Mentally)

Imagine a man whose very name means "acquired," not born, and who, despite never writing a single word of his philosophy, inspired a military officer falling through the sky over enemy territory nearly two millennia later. What happens to your mind when everything outside it falls apart, and how do you guard the one thing no one can take from you?
In this episode, we delve into the life of Epictetus, a man born into slavery whose profound insights on freedom and control continue to resonate today. We explore his journey from being legally owned in the court of Emperor Nero to becoming a respected Stoic philosopher, and how his teachings provided a map for survival to a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Person: Epictetus
Period: 1st Century CE
Location: Rome
Student: Marcus Aurelius
Event: James Stockdale's captivity in Vietnam
- Epictetus's name, meaning "acquired," reflects his status as property.
