Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that flourished in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.

The Stoics identified the path to achieving it with a life spent practicing certain virtues in everyday life such as courage or temperance and living in accordance with nature. It was founded in the ancient Agora of Athens by Zeno of Citium around 300 BC.
