In the first part, Solon's poetry is reconsidered against the background of oral poetics and other early Greek poetry. The connection between Solon's alleged roles as poet and as politician is fundamentally questioned. Part two offers a reassessment of Solon's laws based on a revision of the textual tradition and recent views on early Greek lawgiving. In part three, fresh scrutiny of the archeological and written evidence of archaic Greece results in new perspectives on the agricultural crisis and Solon's role in the social and political developments of sixth-century Athens Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes "This volume originated at a conference which was held at the study center of the Radboud University Nijmegen, Soeterbeeck, in the Netherlands in December 2003"--Acknowledgements Master and use copy.
