On Training for Public Speaking (Ancient Greek: Περὶ λόγου ἀσκήσεως, romanized: Peri logou askēseōs, Oration 18 in modern corpora) is a short text written by Dio Chrysostom in the late first or early second century AD. The work takes the form of a letter to an anonymous man of affairs who has decided to train as a public speaker. It mostly consists of recommendations of authors for the recipient to read as examples of good style. The text is thus an important source on the formation of the Greek Classical canon in the early Roman empire. Source: Wikipedia (en)
