"The founder of Stoicism was Zeno of Kithia.Study Philosophy

Initially, it was known as "Zenonism".

It was a philosophical school that arose in Athens in 300 BC.

Before this school was identified, the Atolls in Athens called the community of poets who gathered in the Stoa of Poikil a hundred years before the appearance of Zeno and his students and like-minded people.

Zeno and his followers gathered there to discuss their ideas.

When Zenon first began teaching, he could not afford a building like the Academy of Plato or the Lyceum of Aristotle, so he and his followers gathered under the canopy of Stoa Poikile on a market where everyone could listen and join the debate. Therefore, sometimes Stoicism is simply called " stoa " or the philosophy of " portico "…."
