#3 Zeno was a Stoic philosopher who founded the Stoic school in Athens around 300 BCE. He wrote many books, but only titles remain. Zeno believed that all people had equal access to virtue, but few ever perfected it.
#4 After Zeno died, his school was passed on to one of his students, Cleanthes.
Cleanthes began his career as a boxer, but eventually became a philosopher. He supported himself through hard work, and worked nights as a water carrier for a gardener.
