23360	Each of the four elements in you is entirely scattered after death [Epictetus]
	Full Idea: Whatever was in you of fire, departs into fire; what was of earth, into earth; what of air, into air; what of water, into water. There is no Hades, nor Acheron.
	From: Epictetus (The Discourses [c.56], 3.13.15)
	A reaction: This sort of remark may explain why so few of the great Stoic texts (such as those of Chrysippus) survived the Christian era.
