Abstract

In this exposition we intend to show the image Aristotle gives of Solon in the interpretation of the first part -of those remaining- of his Athenaion Politeia. We complement this image of the poet-politician turning to the content of the poems (elegies) we have of Solon himself, as well as to the other works of the Stagirite where he underlines the Solonian political thought.
