A mosaic dating to 2,400 years ago was dug up in what was Antioch in Turkey in 2012.

The inscription translates as “Be cheerful, enjoy your life.”

    Probably sound advice for the slave-owning educated Greek male elite. For slaves and women, no amount of philosophical introspection would have improved their lives.
