Abstract
This paper focuses on two Aristotelian passages concerning the polis of Milet, Pol. 1305a15-18 and fr. 556a Rose. The first one, examined in the context of Aristotle’s argumentation, appears as an exemplum relating to the “secondary” statement «megalai archai bring tyranny». The reading of the second passage, in relation to Pol. 1312b34-38 and HIPP. ERITR., FGrHist 421 F 1, confirms the hypothesis of its Aristotelian origin and leads to observe that the theoretical elaboration of the Politics in some way is already applied in some passages of the Politeiai and in a few contemporary works of local historiography.File in questo prodotto:
