Content:
A critical analysis of Aristotle's historical document on Athenian democracy, which starts from the belief that the ""Athenaion Politeia"" does not fit any ancient genre. The author argues that Aristotle created a new genre and was not therefore inhibited by generic constraints of any kind.
