The Responsibility of Translating Marcus Aurelius | David Hernández de la Fuente
Today, Ryan is joined by David Hernández de la Fuente, the translator behind the Spanish edition of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Together, they talk about the responsibility of a translator, Seneca’s legacy as a Spanish Stoic, sharing Marcus’ work with new audiences, and the renaissance of Stoicism.
David is a writer and professor of Greek philology at the University of Madrid. He brings a refreshingly positive perspective on Stoicism to the academic world, as he shares in the article: Stoicism is back: This is the ‘slave doctrine’ to understand today’s bosses and employees.

Perfect
Love this podcast!!
The Daily Stoic
This podcast along with all the Books, Your Truly Ryan Holiday has written have been the guiding light for me for the past two to three years.
This podcast often give me bite sized ideas to ponder upon thus making me more human.
The ability to think, to reflect upon and to practice temperance have made me a much calmer person which is something which I always strive to achieve.
Thank you Ryan for this!
Keep pushing such content.
Morning Routine
I was going through a rough patch for a while and I just randomly stumbled upon your podcast on Spotify. And Stoicism brought solace and stability to my daily life and rejuvenated my hope towards a better, satisfactory life. Thank you so much Ryan Holiday. Your messages have a large impact on me and the interviews you do are very meaningful and relaxing. Can't thank you enough.
P.S. I listen to Daily Stoic on Spotify and I created this itunes account JUST to leave this positive review.
