Good evening /lit/,

I've just finished Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. It was fun and I had interesting contemplations afterwards. Where do I go next to stay roughly in the same vein of roman/greek (not necessarily) stoicism?

Aurelius mentioned Epictetus and Plato a lot, any recommendations for them maybe?

Read The Enchiridion or Golden Sayings by Epictetus.

Read Letters From a Stoic by Seneca

Read Cicero in general, start off with On Old Age or On Friendship (then read the one you didn't read)

On Friendship seems interesting, I'll go with that first

you would better read epictetus first and aurelius then than vice versa

I read E.S. Shuckburgh' translation for those two essays that I recommended.

Reading Aurelius for stoicism is like reading Miley Cyrus for hedonism 2bh.
