Synopsis

Unlock Solon’s legacy with a careful, scholarly portrait of Athens’ famed lawgiver. This edition presents Solon the Athenian through the lens of ancient sources, tracing how legends about his death, burial, and poems shaped the city’s memory.

This work surveys the life and afterlife of Solon, weighing competing traditions about his death, burial, and the scattering of his ashes. It also collects and contextualizes the surviving fragments of his poetry, along with major editions and scholarly references. Readers will find a clear account of the fragment material and how editors have approached it over time.

• An explicit overview of Solon’s life and reported events within the Pisistratid era context.


• A discussion of legends surrounding his grave, ashes, and the alleged burial places.


• Guidance to the surviving poems and fragments attributed to Solon, with scholarly apparatus.


• A curated bibliography and notes that map the field’s key editions and commentators.

Ideal for readers of ancient history, Greek literature, and classical biography who want a well-sourced, reference‑level view of Solon’s poems and the myths that grew up around his life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
