What makes it worse is that none of the words used to define the Greek schools of thought still mean what they used to mean. Stoics aren't really stoic, Epicureans aren't really epicurean, Cynics aren't... well, you know. Which I suppose makes my name doubly ironic, because Zealot doesn't really mean the same thing it used to, either. ~~Nor, for that matter, does "ironic"~~. Zeus posted...

Was kinda in his moniker. http://dailystoic.com/stoicism-cynicism Yes, but as the article you posted even points out, one could easily see him as the inspiration for Stoicism, with the Stoic viewpoint being more of a refinement of Cynicism rather than a completely new philosophy.
