Beskrivelse
Dio Chrysostom was a philosopher and historian of the first century, whose extant works confirm his prominent influence in reviving Greek literature in the Roman Empire, marking the beginning of the Second Sophistic movement. Dio was committed to defending the ethical values of the Greek cultural tradition, as reflected by his sober and elegant style.
