Almost all ancient Greek ethical theories are taken to be eudaimonist because of the central role of eudaimonia (happiness) within them. Varieties of Happiness critically examines eudaimonism and challenges the widespread belief among scholars that Greek ethics is this distinct type of ethical theory. Vasiliou provides detailed interpretations of ancient texts on happiness and virtue from Plato's Socratic dialogues The Republic and Symposium, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Epicurus, and the early Stoics.
