Greek Philosophers Biographies - Stoicism Part 1 in English
The Greek philosophers were among the most influential people in history because they invented both philosophy and science. By asking questions about themselves and the world around them, these philosophers helped create modern civilization.
Interestingly enough, the Greek philosophers thought of themselves as scientists rather than thinkers. They called themselves seekers and lovers of wisdom and often studied a wide variety of subjects, including history, physics, law, sociology, politics, mathematics, and biology. The famous philosophers were also teachers, educating wealthy children and operating schools as well as thinkers.

18 STOICISM - Zeno of Citium
Στωικισμός - στωικοί φιλόσοφοι - Ζήνων απο το Κίτιο ( ο Κιτιεύς )
ate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on.
Zeno of Citium was the founder of one of the most influential schools of Greek and Roman philosophy: the Stoics. Zeno's major belief was logic, which he believed existed to help people avoid deception. He was also deeply interested in ethics. The purpose of ethics was to achieve happiness by living according to nature, Zeno believed. Zeno's most interesting belief was his physics or theology: he believed that the universe itself was god and conforming to its will was the ultimate goal of human life. Zeno also believed that human beings lacked free will; instead, the universe directed their behavior.
Zeno of Citium, Modern bust of Zeno in Athens, Zeno, portrayed as a medieval scholar in the Nuremberg Chronicle, Zeno, thought happiness was a "good flow of life."

Rear Admiral James B. Stockdale
Prisoner of war James Stockdale receiving the Medal of Honor from American president Gerald Ford; Stockdale was able to retain his sanity during capture by relying on the philosophy of Epictetus
The philosophy of Epictetus is well known in the U.S. military through the writings and example of James Stockdale, an American fighter pilot who was shot down over North Vietnam, became a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, and later a vice presidential candidate. In Courage under Fire: Testing Epictetus's Doctrines in a Laboratory of Human Behavior (1993), Stockdale credits Epictetus with helping him endure seven and a half years in a North Vietnamese military prison—including torture—and four years in solitary confinement.
In his conclusion, Stockdale quoted Epictetus as saying, "The emotions of grief, pity, and even affection are well-known disturbers of the soul. Grief is the most offensive; Epictetus considered the suffering of grief an act of evil. It is a willful act, going against the will of God to have all men share happiness" (p. 235).
