Estóicos
"Stoic cosmology depicted a deterministic universe that ran through repeating but predetermined cycles (a notion that was doubtless one inspiration for Nietzche's similar concept of 'eternal recurrence').

Stoics were focused on elaborating a 'systematic plan of life that would, ideally, assure purposefulness, serenity, dignity, and social utility at every waking moment, irrespective of external circumstances'. The goal of a good lie was to attain tranquility, or peace of mind, which the Stoics regarded as synonymous with true happiness.
Reaching this goal required understanding and reconciling oneself to the divine (and inevitable) order of the universe, and also training oneself through spiritual as well as physical exercises to become inured to physical pain and indifferent to a host of potentially overpowering and disquieting emotions, such as anger, lust, jealously, grief, and - above all - the fear of death".
