Stoics (Στοϊκός, Stoikos). Philosophical movement in the Hellenistic period. Stoicism as a philosophy began in the early fourth century bc. Highly diverse and influential Stoic philosophers developed and transformed the philosophy, enabling it to succeed and retain its vibrancy throughout some of the most politically unstable years of the Hellenistic world. Eventually, Stoicism became so successful that it essentially disappeared: By the end of the second century, Stoicism had become part of the cultural fabric assumed and held in common by the Roman world (Ferguson, 368).
