Aristoxenus of Tarentum, Fragments, Pythagoreanism, Platonism, Ethos Theory.Abstract
In this brief text, i present an introduction to the study of fragments by aristoxenus of tarentum, offer translations of selected texts, and make brief comments. My general objective was to demonstrate that, in addition to the influence of the peripatetic school and aristotle, who was his teacher, aristoxenus preserved a part of his pythagorean training, which he received in his youth, and also main- tained some dialogue with platonic thought. Thus, his work goes beyond the technicality characteristic of the treatise elements of harmonic theory and en- compasses other interests such as history, biography and the influence of mu- sic on the soul.
