Best Answer

Epictetus presents Socrates as the model for Stoic beliefs - using his as an ideal citizen - a family man, soldier, city councillor, and thinker, who was prepared to accept death rather than break the law - the epitome of Stoic thought.

What is the role of greek mythology in the evolution of philosophy?

That is a rather broad question. Greek mythology somewhat played a role in shaping philosophy; however, there has always been a fine line between religion and philosophy, which has, and will, always be debated. An example of Greek mythology playing a role in the evolution of philosophy *directly* would be in the death of Socrates, who was convicted of corrupting the youth and impiety and put to death.
