Title: Misleading Mis-Representation
Product review: It is hard to countenance the subject matter of a bookwhen you know the "interpreter" has not accurately identifiedthe origins of the author. She states that Epictetus "taught in Rome".What she doesn't say, and this is misleading, is that he wasa GREEK and not a Roman. In fact he was a Greek slave toa wealthy Roman under Nero. He was born in a GREEK area of whatorigianlly was part of the Greek Byzantine empire, later underRoman rule and now known as Turkey. He spent time in Romebut was exiled to his Greek area where he lived theremainder of his life and died.If an "interpreter" omits out a full and accurate accountof the ethnic and geographic origins of an author, thereby"interpreting" what are known facts, I can not trust thecontents; they too are likely to be misleading, and unscholarly;with ommissions that amount to a misrepresentationand therefore, a lie.
