The absolute king as a god-like ruler is a notorious exception to Aristotle’s political paradigm of ruling and being ruled in turn.

In elucidating the latter, I will make two claims: first, this importance can only be grasped by referring to Plato, and especially his Statesman. Second, the philosophical point of these passages within Aristotle’s Politics is to indicate that such a kingly regime is not primarily better than, but different from a political one.
