Q. Which translation of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is best?

Gregory Hays’s translation is universally considered to be the best English translation. Just be sure to read the newer one, because he revised his original translation. I personally like The Emperor’s Handbook, a very readable translation of Meditations by David and Scot Hicks.

Q. Why is meditation Greek written?

Short answer, it just made sense. Why did Aurelius write his meditations in Koine Greek instead of Attic Greek? Because that was the contemporary version of Greek. To write it in classical Attic Greek would be rather like a contemporary novelist writing in Shakespearian English.

Q. How do we know Marcus Aurelius wrote meditations?

Readers of The Meditations are usually aware that Marcus was a Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher. However, they often don’t realize how much more we know about him. Marcus studied rhetoric under Fronto for many years, and learned certain techniques from him that appear to have shaped the writing of The Meditations.
