Abstract
The island of Samos and its inhabitants are mentioned twice in the Athenaion Politeia of Aristotle and never in the Athenaion Politeia of the Pseudo-Xenophon. Looking back on the history of relations between Samos and Athens, the silence of the Pseudo-Xenophon is not understandable: the ghost of the island seems to float in his anti-democratic pamphlet because Samos was the most illustrious victims of the Athenian democracy, at the time of the great revolt of 440 BC
