Epictetus
είναι αδύνατο means It's impossible
Ἐπίκτητος, AD 55 – 135
was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present day Pamukkale, Turkey) and lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece for the rest of his life.
His teachings were written down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses and Enchiridion.
Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline.
To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; we should accept calmly and dispassionately whatever happens.
However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

The Greek alphabet
The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the late 9th century BC or early 8th century BC.
It was derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet, and was the first alphabetic script to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. It is the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
Apart from its use in writing the Greek language, in both its ancient and its modern forms, the Greek alphabet today also serves as a source of technical symbols and labels in many domains of mathematics, science and other fields.
