Main thing to understand is which stoicism you're interested in.
Greek is OG. It was more broad and tried to understand the structure of the universe. Biblical "in the beginning there was the word(logos)" is believed to be taken from Greek stoics.
Roman stoics are more about how to live your life.

Just read Seneca's letters. Most of stoic texts are pretty straightforward and intelligible tbqh.
