I Lelegi nelle Politeiai aristoteliche

This paper focuses on the traditions concerning the presence of the Lelegians in Greece in mythical times. They indicate, as places that were inhabited by the Lelegians, Lokris, Acarnania, some areas of the Peloponnese and Megara and seem to have been used in various local contexts in a period between the archaic period and the classical age to confirm the identity of some ethnic groups in relation to the surrounding populations. These traditions were collected by Aristotle in the Politeiai and Strabo, through the probable mediation of Demetrius of Scepsis, reported the Aristotelian texts in the context of his treatment of the Lelegians.
