text:
Diogenes or the Isthmian Oration is a short speech delivered by Dio Chrysostom between AD 82 and 96, which describes the behaviour of the Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope at the Isthmian Games. It emphasises the emptiness of athletic achievement and the superiority of a Cynic lifestyle. The oration forms a pair with the On Virtue, which is presented as a speech delivered by Diogenes at the Isthmian Games.
