So Solon Says

Description

[edit] Solon the reformer and poet 


Solon was a voice for political moderation in Athens at a time when 
his fellow citizens were increasingly polarized by social and economic 
differences. That at least is the view of Solon that emerges from his 
own poems: 


Some wicked men are rich, some good are poor; 
We will not change our virtue for their store: 
Virtue's a thing that none can take away, 
But money changes owners all the day.[4]
