	Dio Chrysostom - LoveToKnow 1911
		He was called Chrysostom ("golden-mouthed") from his eloquence, and also to distinguish him from his grandson, the historian Dio Cassius; his surname Cocceianus was derived from his patron, the emperor Cocceius Nerva.
		Amongst his lost works were attacks on philosophers and Domitian, and Getica (wrongly attributed to Dio Cassius by Suidas), an account of the manners and customs of the Getae, for which he had collected material on the spot during his banishment.
		The style of Dio, who took Plato and Xenophon especially as his models, is pure and refined, and on the whole free from rhetorical exaggeration.

	APA Abstract
		Dio consistently calls on his audience to be "Hellenic," but this does not mean simply being more like the inhabitants of fifth-century Athens.
		In all of these instances, taking Dio's side is portrayed as choosing to be part of a broad cosmopolitan Greek identity that is opposed to the parochialism and pettiness with which Dio taints his opponents.
		Dio's reaction to Rome is not to exclude it, but to include it on distinctly Hellenic terms as opposed to customary Roman stereotypes.

	Dio Chrysostom
		Dio or Dio Chrysostom (c 40 AD - c 120 AD) was a Greek orator, writer, philosopher and historian of the Romans in the first century.
		In his later life Dio returned to Prusa, where he apparently had some status, as there are records of him being involved in an uban renewal lawsuit about 111 AD.
		He should not be confused with his grandson Dio Cassius, who was also a historian of the romans.

	Plutarch's Pyrrhus and Euripides' Phoenician Women
		[2] It is no surprise, then, that Dio Chrysostom, Plutarch's contemporary in the emerging world of "the second sophistic", uses a quotation from the play as the centrepiece of a moral argument of his own, on the evils of pleonexia.
		Dio stresses that, in his view, Jocasta's speech is a fine formulation of the problems of pleonexia.
		Dio Chrysostom's discussion of pleonexia tends to suggest that Plutarch was doing nothing very surprising in bringing the Phoenician Women to bear on a case of pleonexia, while pleonexia was so familiar an issue that Dio offers an apology for producing an oration on the theme.

		Dio Cassius appears to have remained in the East during, at least part of, the rule of Elagabalus (218-222), although, at some stage, he had been consul, and, under Alexander Severus (222-235), he became proconsul in Africa.
		Dio Cassius had felt it necessary to be a firm disciplinarian with his troops in Pannonia, and, as a result, the Praetorian Guard were unhappy about his appointment.

	DIO COCCEIANUS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		DIO COCCEIANUS, surnamed Chrysostom (golden-mouthed), a travling scholar who in his 36th Oration (known as the "Borysthenian" or "Olbian" from its dramatic setting), written about 100 C.E., purports to summarize a hymn composed by Zoroaster and sung by the magi "in secret rites" (text and commentary in Bidez and Cumont, II, pp.
		Greek authors had no inhibitions about enhancing their own material by attributing it to oriental sages, and the setting of the hymns as a myth at the end of a philosophical discourse is precisely the sort of literary context where, by convention, the freest rein could be given to imagination.
		The problem is that there are no other extant remains of Magusaean liturgy or doctrine against which Dio's material might be tested, and in their default it is probably sounder to attribute to Dio himself that which is manifestly occidental and in the Greek philosophical tradition.

	Rome Under Better Emperors 96-180 by Sanderson Beck
		In 82 Dio was banished by Domitian from Rome, Italy, and Bithynia for advising a conspiring relative of the Emperor.
		Dio believed that guardian spirits are good and that the wise are fortunate and happy because they are guided by them; but the unhappy are so, not because their guardian spirit is bad, but because they neglect the good spirit.
		Dio is like the physician who touches the sore spot; he makes it smart, but his medicine is mild considering the seriousness of their case.

	Michel Foucault, Parrhesiasts - Diogenes, The Cynic Philosophers and their techniques
		Dio's family was typical of the affluent provincial notables that produced so many writers, officers, generals, even emperors, for the Roman Empire.
		But we must keep in mind the fact that Dio Chrysostom was not a "pure" cynic; and perhaps with his intellectual background his depiction of the Cynic parrhesiastic game puts it closer to the Socratic tradition than most of the actual Cynic practices.
		In this text by Dio Chrysostom, Diogenes begins a continuous discourse; however his discussion does not present the truth of a positive thesis, but is content to give a precise description of three faulty modes of life linked to the royal character.

	Kim: Unspeakable Sounds: Dio Chrysostom on Nasal Noise at Tarsus
		Of course, as Cécile Bost-Pouderon has pointed out recently, Dio’s speech authorizes all of these readings to some degree, because he does touch on all of these areas in his digressive and somewhat self-contradictory treatment of this elusive ‘snorting’; to fixate on only one ‘meaning’ is to ignore other equally significant portions of the text.
		The answers have been so varied because Dio himself never defines what he means by rhengkein, and only mentions the word once (despite the impression given by translators who feel compelled to supply it for clarity).
		In the paper, I suggest that Dio seems to be thematizing the difficulty, or even impossibility, of adequately defining his subject matter, which, although capable of being heard, is rendered indescribable by speech.

	Mark 15: Cultural Intertexture
		A short span of text in Dio Chrysostom exhibits an intriguing aspect of cultural intertexture.
		The irony, from the perspective of Mediterranean cultural logic, is that those things which are done to Jesus are the things "customarily" done to the one whom an official "releases to the people" at the time of their festival.
		It is a remarkable symptom of the crosscultural manifestation of actions and configurations in the Markan account that the sequence of scenes in Mark 15 follow the sequence of the Dio Chrysostom text, and this produces a reversal of the order of scenes in Psalm 22.
