This Is Epicurus, And This Is Epictetus:

'why it matters you don’t (or do!) mix them up'

Gregory Sadler at Practical Rationality.

"I won’t go so far as to claim that every time someone shares an image of Epicurus as if it were an image of Epictetus that person is posting something that should be called 'fake Stoicism'. But an awful lot of the time, the two do go hand in hand."

See Epictetus, The Enchiridon, Gateway to the Great Books (10 Vol., 1963) volume 10; The Discourses, Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 54 Vol., 1952) volume 12, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 11.

See Epicurus, Letter to Herodotus, and Letter to Menoeceus, Gateway to the Great Books (10 Vol., 1963) volume 10.
