Who is the invincible man? Epictetus asks. 'He whom nothing outside the sphere of his moral purpose can dismantle. ' Strength, in his view, is not physical power but moral integrity. It is the ability to look a tyrant in the eye and say, 'You can chain my leg, but not even Zeus can break my will. ' This inner fortress is built brick by brick through the daily practice of choosing virtue over comfort. Epictetus teaches that true strength is self-sufficiency.
