1. Did Zeno kill himself? Adam Smith denied it. I agree with him for the following reasons: (a) the report that Zeno died at the age of 98 is due to Apollonius of Tyre and (b) this report seems to have been originally connected with the story of Zeno's suicide; (c)the report should be, and has now been generally, rejected on the basis of Persaeus' testimony and Apollonius' unreliability. It seems probable therefore that the story of Zeno's suicide did not exist before Apollonius of Tyre. 2. It is possible that the paradoxical statements about the Stoical wise man (the so-called paradoxa Stoicorum) originated, not with Zeno, but with Chrysippus. Adam Smith propounded this interpretation with some plausibility and I have added a few reasons to his. 3. Is Zeno's ethics deontological or teleological? It cannot be denied that there is a deontological side there and this side is a very fundamental one. But the Stoical wise man believes in and relies upon the providence of a God which aims at the prosperity and perfection of the universe, and thus his "deontological act" is grounded on his "teleological belief".
