Notes
English: Although discovered in an 'Epicurean' library, this bust is generally identified with the Stoic Zeno of Citium, and not the Epicurean Zeno of Sidon. Surviving portrait busts of Epicurean masters (Epicurus, Metrodorus, Hermarchus, Colotes) are so similar, that they appear to have been deliberately made to resemble one another. The common opinion is therefore that this bust (and others identified from it) represent Zeno of Citium, "since this Zeno does not look at all like an Epicurean."—Bernard Frischer, (1982), The Sculpted Word: Epicureanism and Philosophical Recruitment in Ancient Greece, page 123 University of California Press.
