About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Epictetus (c. AD 50–135), translated in a single voice with the Greek alongside.

What's here

Everything of Epictetus that survives — the four books of Discourses that Arrian recorded from his lectures at Nicopolis, the Enchiridion he later distilled from them, and the fragments quoted by later authors from the lost books — translated from the Greek and presented in the order the corpus formed. Each work carries a headnote, an optional Greek-parallel toggle, and an apparatus of named-entity glossary and cross-references linking the lectures to the handbook and to the Stoics, Cynics, and classroom visitors they name.

From the Greek

Every translation was produced by reading the Greek text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Greek comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

The Works index opens the texts; the chronology places the lectures and the handbook in Epictetus's life — slavery in Rome, expulsion under Domitian, the school at Nicopolis. The glossary is the named-entity registry — every philosopher, emperor, and student the classroom mentions. Search spans the whole corpus.
