Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

What a week!

Here at Classical Wisdom, this week we celebrated the 1902nd birthday of Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius. It’s been quite the celebration! He doesn’t look a day over 1500, if you ask me…

We have a host of material below to mark the occasion.

Members can now access our EXCLUSIVE e-book edition of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, featuring bonus essays by Classical Wisdom contributors that you won’t find anywhere else.

We also have a comparison between Marcus Aurelius’ Stoicism and the Cynicism of Diogenes of Sinope. We hope you enjoy this comparison between two of our favorite figures of the ancient world!

If you’re interested in something a little different from philosophy, we descended into the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, to discover what truths may lie behind the most enduring of Greek monster myths.

Plus, over at Classical Wisdom Kids, the birthday celebrations for Marcus Aurelius continue, and we had some fun and games with the Socratic Method.

Check it all out below…

That’s all for this week!

All the best,
