I mantain a small page about Stoicism: http://pa-mar.net/Lifestyle/Stoicism.html http://pa-mar.net/Lifestyle/Stoicism.html I would not consider myself an expert but I think that the original texts are perfectly fine (in a recent translation, of course) and do not really need neither transposing the examples to modern times, nor a lot of interpretation. They were designed to work for humans, no matter what power they had (i.e. they can be useful to a slave or an emperor, and anything in between) and are pretty pragmatic without any need for elaborate conceptual frameworks.
