First sentence: Although from the second century BC to the third century AD the problems of determination were discussed almost exclusively under the heading of fate, early Stoic determinism, as introduced by Zeno and elaborated by Chrysippus, seems to have been developed largely in Stoic writings on physics, independently of any specific 'theory of fate'.
