Who or what can truly teach me about Stoicism that isn't just the surface level?

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 23:22:39 2021 No.17315523 >>17315492 This. Discourses and Selected Writings by Epictetus is brilliant and a great place to start. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is beautiful and a great next step after that.

>>17315689
Yes! My glory can only die once my name is forgotten. Don't you read Homer?

Anyway, returning to the topic at hand, has anyone here read the Oxford edition of Epictetus's discourses? It seems like everyone (myself included) goes with the Penguin edition.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 23:56:16 2021 No.17315714 Stoicism doesn’t really go much beyond the surface level.
