Not everything that happens happens for a reason, but everything that survives survives for a reason.

The chief ethical rule is the following: Thou shalt not have antifragility at the expense of the fragility of others.

Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost. Patrocles does not strike us as a hero because of his accomplishments (he was rapidly killed) but because he preferred to die than see Achilles sulking into inaction. Clearly, the epic poets understood invisible histories. Also later thinkers and poets had more elaborate methods for dealing with randomness, as we will see with stoicism.
