Please provide a stoic image

Imagine an ancient, weathered marble bust of Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism, centered in front of a deep indigo backdrop. His gaze is resolute, eyes staring into the distance, embodying a calm determination. His beard and hair are etched with the finest detail, each strand representing a challenge met with stoic resolve. The bust is positioned in the foreground of a tranquil garden, the kind that might have surrounded a Greek academy. The garden is lush with olive trees, their silvery leaves rustling softly in the breeze, symbolizing peace and the serenity one finds in nature. Amidst the greenery, there's a stone path leading away into the distance, fading into a horizon where the first light of dawn is piercing the night's sky. This path is narrow, uneven, and occasionally obstructed by fallen branches and stones, much like the challenging road one must take when following the Stoic path of life. In the sky above, the constellation of Hercules is visible, a tribute to the valor and endurance required to face life's labors. The stars are bright but not overpowering, hinting at the idea that virtue is more profound than any external success or recognition. This entire scene captures the stoic principles - the pursuit of wisdom, living in harmony with nature, enduring hardship with grace, and striving for personal virtue irrespective of external circumstances. It is a silent yet powerful reminder that stoicism is about inner strength and the beauty of a life well-examined and lived with intention.
