This small volume by Philip Freeman is an accomplishment and welcomed publication. ---Nelu Zugravu, Classica et Christiana A good summary of the religious thoughts of the Stoics. . . . Philip Freeman's introduction and translation are models of their kind. ---Harry Mount, Catholic Herald The translation is worthy of praise. It is smooth and colloquial, allowing easy access to rather difficult and technical Latin texts. . . . [Freeman's] approach breathes new life into two Latin texts that deserve more readers. ---Ailsa Hunt, Classical Review
