Abstract: 

This article examines the Odes of Solomon's ancient attribution to the biblical king, a decidedly overlooked aspect of these texts. The special vibrancy of traditions about Solomon's powers over demons and his authority in many spiritual matters during the Second Temple period can be a fruitful context for helping us to understand how ancient readers understood these texts as Solomonic pseudepigrapha.
