How Aristotle and Epictetus define the end, telos, or ultimate good of human life

How do each of Aristotle and Epictetus define the end, telos, or ultimate good of human life? Each asserts that the life of pleasure (or hedonism) and/or that of honour (or good reputation) are not conducive to achieving our ultimate end or good. What reasons do they offer in support of this assertion? According to each, what kind of life or conduct is required to achieve this end? Why, for both, is the exercise of our rational faculties or good judgement indispensable to living the good life?
