Die philosophischen Traditionen der hellenistisch-römischen Zeit haben verschiedene gemeinsame Merkmale: die Betonung der Ethik; die Tendenz Lehren und Ideen aus verschiedenen Quellen auszuwählen; der Fokus auf der moralischen Entwicklung des Individuums; psychagogische Prinzipien und Praktiken um spirituelle Reife zu fördern; schließlich die Tendenz philosophische Ideen populär zu machen. Drei Texte – die Goldenen Verse des Pythagoras, der Zeushymnus des Kleanthes sowie »De Mundo« von Pseudo-Aristoteles – illustrieren diese den verschiedenen Traditionen gemeinsamen Charakteristika.
