The word "stoic" commonly refers to someone who is indifferent to pain, pleasure, grief, or joy.[8] The modern usage as a "person who represses feelings or endures patiently" was first cited in 1579 as a noun and in 1596 as an adjective.[9] In contrast to the term "Epicurean", the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's entry on Stoicism notes, "the sense of the English adjective 'stoical' is not utterly misleading with regard to its philosophical origins."[10] Stoicism became the foremost popular philosophy among the educated elite in the Hellenistic world and the Roman Empire,[17] to the point where, in the words of Gilbert Murray "nearly all the successors of Alexander [...] professed themselves Stoics."[18]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1279.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1279.txt
