The Euboean Oration or Euboicus (Ancient Greek: Εὐβοϊκὸς λόγος ἢ κυνηγὸς, romanized: euboikos logos e kynegos, lit. 'Euboean oration, or the hunter', Oration 7 in modern corpora) is a speech delivered by Dio Chrysostom in the early second century AD, dealing with the relationship between virtue and poverty and drawing a contrast between rural and urban life. The speech's name derives from the extended anecdote in the first part of the speech in which Dio describes a poor hunter whom he met after being shipwrecked on the island of Euboea. It has been treated as an important historical source for the state of the countryside and civic life in Greece under the Roman Empire.[1][2]
