What did the Stoics say about emotions?

"Happiness is a good flow of life" - Zeno, Stobaeus, ii.7

It is a common misconception that Stoicism aims to repress all emotions, so that one is unmoved by even the most extreme of external events. However, a deeper dive into the writings of the ancient Stoics show that they held a much more nuanced and advanced (for their time) view on emotions. And with the Modern Stoic movement these insights have been further developed through the lens of modern psychological and neurological understanding.
So what did the Stoics mean when they talked about emotions of apatheia, ataraxia and eudaimonia? And how can Stoicism help us to develop healthy emotions and a zest for life?
