CRATES OF MALLOS IS WELL KNOWN in classical scholarship, but his reputation is not very enviable. Although posterity has admired his learning, he is regarded as something of a crank. Even Varro, who borrowed from him, accused him of obtuseness. I would like to suggest in this paper that Crates deserves a better fate. He developed a theory of poetry that is not widely known today, but ranks as a major contribution to the history of aesthetics
