Zeno. A Greek philosopher, who flourished in the third century before Christ. He was a native of Citium, in the island of Cyprus, but most of his life was spent in Athens. He was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, a name derived from the Painted Porch (Stoa Poikile), in which he was accustomed to meet his disciples. He is said to have lived to the age of 98 years.
