"Epictetus might have been a freed slave, but Stoics had little to say about slavery."

"The slavery that mattered to Stoics was the slavery of the will."

"Physical slaves, they believed, could transcend their brute bondage, indeed could only transcend their brute bondage, by exercising their freedom of will."
