  Aristotle is known as a philosopher and as a theorist of poetry, but he was also a composer of songs
and verse. This is the first comprehensive study of Aristotle's poetic activity, interpreting his remaining fragments in
relation to the earlier poetic tradition and to the literary culture of his time. Its centerpiece is a study of the
single complete ode to survive, a song commemorating Hermias of Atarneus, Aristotle's father-in-law and patron in the
340's BCE. This remarkable text is said to have embroiled the philosopher in charges of impiety and so is studied both
from a literary perspective and in its political and religious contexts.
  Aristotle's literary antecedents are
studied with an unprecedented fullness that considers the entire range of Greek poetic forms, including poems by Sappho,
Pindar, and Sophocles, and prose texts as well. Apart from its interest as a complex and subtle poem, the Song for
Hermias is noteworthy as one of the first Greek lyrics for which we have substantial and early evidence for how and
where it was composed, performed, and received. It thus affords an opportunity to reconstruct how Greek lyric texts
functioned as performance pieces and how they circulated and were preserved. The book argues that Greek lyric poems
profit from being read as scripts for performances that both shaped and were shaped by the social occasions in which
they were performed. The result is a thorough and wide-ranging study of a complex and fascinating literary document that
gives a fuller view of literature in the late classical age.
  
  Reviews
  "Andrew Ford has the uncanny ability to be at once a highly original
scholar-critic and also a continuator of a great philological tradition. Aristotle as Poet has changed my own thinking
about that philosopher. But then Ford altered permanently my vision of Homer and my sense of ancient Greek literary
theory and criticism." --Harold Bloom, Yale University
  
  "The
treatment is subtle, elegant, and cumulatively enriching to our understanding of the text. It furnishes an admirable
methodological model."--Greece and Rome
  
  "What a pleasure this book
was!...I can't emphasize this enough: this book will provide Aristotelians with the information they will need to
interpret and understand the poem."--Phronesis
